has anyone is keeping Indo Datnoid fish and Flagtail fish together.
I have seen may youtube videos datnoid and flagtail fish are living together in a same tank.

I recently added a flagtail fish around 3inches long to the datanoid tank (Datnoid is around 2.5 inches).
but it seems Datnoid it attacking to the Flagtail time to time.

Is there anything i can do? if i put Red parrot or Severum fish to the same tank, will the Datnoid stop attacking Flagtail?

Independent of behavior, flagtails (Semaprochilodus) come from full fresh, and relatively softer waters. DATs prefer very different water characteristics. Regardless of the videos out there, not compatible for good health.

I've not has an issue between the two. My Dat and dats in the past have always been good fish other than the one I have now sometimes has a chase of an aro twoce it size but it leads to nothing
Flagtail doesnt go near it and never has
