Simian Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 As there are some tigers on the PT&E for a pretty good price I thought I'd see how they would go in my 5' tank. Currently have: 1x Gold Severum 1x Uaru 1x Ornate Polypterus 1x Geo Altifons 1x Satanoperca Some Pleco's of various types and some Kribs I chucked in as feeders which my Ornate seems uninterested in Good sized tank 1500x600x600, running 2 canister filters They are all to big to be eaten, just not too sure on the aggression and I want to make sure my Ornate still gets his share of food.

Duncan7 Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 My Dats are fine in with the 2 polys ive got, mind you the smallest dat is probably 15cm now. Have lost full grown convicts and a ?12cm green terror... Blaming the polys for that tho Dats seem pretty sweet once established. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simian Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Thanks for the advice Duncan. I should probably pass really. Good to see you back, long time no hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan7 Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 My dats dont seem outwardly agressive, but they can definately hold their own if they are being hastled and will have a go back. I assume you were thinking of going for those two up in auckland... Id say buy them and ill have them if they dont work out... actually that is a bad idea cause then id need atleast a 6 foot tank! Yeah have been not very active on the forum of late, well not really an active poster anyway, more of a watcher... fish have taken a bit of a back seat of late which is a shame, but just had other stuff on.

David R Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 I agree with Duncan, they should be fine in your set up, I've got a 13" and a 5" IT in with geophagus, uaru, ornate and my green aro. One of the biggest things would be to try find ones with good colour and that eat pellets, my big one only eats shrimp and its a bit of a pain.

Silvia-15 Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 david, your big one eats anything except for pellets when it was in my tank, heart, bloodworms, shrimp, chicken!!, insects, fish fillets and my fingers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 What I should have said was that it only eats meaty foods and its a pain that it doesn't take pellets. How many have you got left Roger? Any pics of the new fish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia-15 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 i have 4 left, the huge ones gone... saved me alot of $$ feeding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
