Mixing FW Dwarf and SAP...
Is it possible to house dwarfs and SAPs in the same tank together?

Re: Mixing FW Dwarf and SAP...
Some people do keep them together keep in mind Sap's like to school with others of their own.
P.S. Ignore the previous response I read it wrong Sap's are indeed FW sorry about the confusion.

Re: Mixing FW Dwarf and SAP...
well in my large tank i had dp's and saps - buttt - a few of my saps didnt make it through the ip treatment - (they all had lumped bellys when i had them apar from one) but the last sap has dissapeared - so im putting it down to the dp's attacking it. As the dps are very territorial and the saps seem to buzz around here there and everywhere . not taking into account territories.
SO now after that i wouldnt really advise it -i thought mine was doing great until one night he dissapered

I wouldn't keep anything with DPs, as they love nipping fins. That would be very stressful for other fish.

Re: Mixing FW Dwarf and SAP...
I wouldnt do it because of the obvious size difference.

Re: Mixing FW Dwarf and SAP...
I had 3 SAPs in with 1 DP & they all had bite marks from the DP.

Re: Mixing FW Dwarf and SAP...
I probably wouldn't do it either. SAPs have no regard for territories and DPs are quite territorial and nippy. The two just don't mix. The SAPs would constantly be invading and stressing out the DP without knowing and the DPs would be biting the SAPs.
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.
