Thank you.Beautiful fish you have though.

Glad someone else likes dats. These wide bar ones are really hard to find.omtay606 wrote:somebody has some really nice tiger datnoids..! would you send me some?
Yes they can jump. All aro keepers know to keep a firm lid on the tank.Vancmann wrote:Nice tank!! Those loach shows no signs of being harassed by the bigger fish. They are in the lower domain of the tank. Although they will eat from the tank floor, most of the larger fish are mid to top water dwellers/hunters by nature. You can tell by the shape and angle of their mouth. I know of arawanas (sp?) being great jumpers, even jumping out of water to feed on insects.
The clowns are not small and not meek. When there is fresh shrimp or tilapia fry they act as efficient and greedy predators.Tiny wrote:Those are lovely fish u got. although i did have the same thought as chefkeith in that those bigger fish might try to attack or eat the clowns. Or are your clown loach happy and mix well with those bigger fish?
Somewhere over four hundred including the five foot sump filter.brett_fishman wrote:wow..nice tank and fish

Well spotted there! There are two pictus and two featherfins which have formed a clique. Together they monopolize one quarter of the floor and half the rear panel. The pictus are definitely the smallest by weight, but are continuously active. The clowns rule the two pieces of wood and the area between them. I have never seen any clashes between the pictus and the clowns, but somehow, they have established their own territories. The only battles I have seen involving the clowns are when the two largest gray-out and vie for alphadom.Mad Duff wrote:Nice tank and nice fish![]()
Have you noticed any interaction between the Pimelodus and the Clowns at all, I had 4 Pim's housed with my clowns for a short term quite a while ago and there seemed to be a total clash of personalities
I have got plans for bigger!brett_fishman wrote:...wow...Somewhere over four hundred including the five foot sump filter.

I have got eight dats in that tank, between seven and ten inches. ( Just got another three, each less than one centimeter ( excuse me for mixing imperial and metric ) . ) The biggest I have seen is close to eighteen inches, but have heard of them getting two foot.crazy loaches wrote:Wow, thats the most amount of dats I have seen in a tank (not that I have seen many datnoid tanks)I normally think of clowns as really big fish, but they litteraly look like dwarfs in that tank, I assume they arent fully grown or all the other fish just really that much bigger (sorry i dont really have a frame of reference). With that many large fish, that are mostly mid and top level, is it hard to feed the clowns enough? And lastly, is that flagfish full grown? I really havent seen one in a decent size tank, I know they get large but seems like most I have seen are unknowing folks who put em in 55's and stunt them.
I am looking for another large species of fish to go with my clowns when I get my big tank up and running for them, not sure if i want predetors though. Was thinking possibly bala sharks but definatly not dedicded yet.
