Datnoid keepers

[rgonzales]

them breeding would definitely destroy my mini-ecosystem! If they laid eggs and somehow made it to my sump that would destroy my red cherry shrimp farm that in populating my treat dispenser.

If they bred that would also make you a rich man as those would be the first captive breds ever

Yeah I was thinking about that earlier... solution is distribution, maybe if I find a nice 4bar I will add one or two more to the nursery or move them over to the bigger nursery I have.

I don't think getting more is the right choice right now. I'm going for overall balance in this tank, so far I think it's getting close to where I only have to feed the trophs and everything else in the tank feeds off one another to survive. If I get more they will over run and destroy my mini-ecosystem.

More tigers has always been my solution to aggression. That or having them at different sizes. At least you dont have to worry about the dats breeding

LoL... and that's in the nursery with just the few rows of holes drilled.

The skinny one was a straight boss in the tank and super active but just on the skinny side so I figure it would bulk back up in no time. Hopefully they don't rip each other up in the nursery, really don't want to throw my other nursery into the tank cause it looks like asz

you can always buy more tigers. Your nursery is giving me inspiration to get more and throw them in there. At least i wouldnt have to set up another tank.

Nice vid, yea the skinny one needs to eat alot but the other is pretty active already. I see what you mean by the current, i think with a little size on them they'll be fine.

I'm hoping to get an Tanganyikan Elipsifer for the tank so that might help with the fry problem.

I ran across a thread asking about them over on MFK, thread was if a SAL and MBU would work together and there's a guy getting all butt hurt about it.

I don't think they would work that great together seeing as the MBU gets curious with slow or stagnant flesh on the substrate.

Yea i forgot about how they like to test bite things

[eklikewhoa]

Took a little vid of them, towards the end I tried to show their size in comparison to the rest of the tank.

Poor man's anything sounds like it's a keeper!

I got a double pack of jumbo mysis in the freezer that I feed my trophs so I'll be using that along with the NLS mix, hopefully the skinny one regains it's health cause I like him.

He should be fine doesnt look too bad. I thought about another monster for you to help with those pesky trophs. South american lungfish, sedentary so no need for lots of space and looks like a turd

So I'm on like pg8 over there digging through all the treads and ran across a vid of a "short body" dat.... it kinda looks like the fat one in my picture!

Time will tell for that one, for now just fatten them up.
