[Fishgeek]

There are rumors of someone on the westside that has several 18"-20" plus dats (all grow outs)... ;) He keeps fish only for himself and doesn't care to show them off or brag about them...

My largest one is 17 inches and actually there are 2 at that size with a 3rd one at 16.5 inches. I have never seen any bigger in person but would love to. If anyone out there has anything bigger than 17 inches for sale, just let me know.

IVE KILLED DATS BEFORE (i had 24 when i went on vacation last year to the atlantis resort)


needless to say they were overfed and i lost 19 of um , they were 6-9inches and the ones left over was a single 4 incher and 4 5-6inchers


upon disection and gutting of the fish i found every one to b male? has anyone else noticed this? i think the reason we dont see captive breeding is because females are easier to come by (MUCH LIKE LARGEMOUTH BASS IN NORTH AMERICA)

[lostboi]

saw it in another forum....absolutely amazing the size of that thing

[notatus]

Now those are true Monsters. :)

[DiXoN]

nice Dats everybody the biggest i had was only 8'' so no comparison really.

[RockyGoldy]

well..no matter what..i guess the best is still rear a fish from young till monster size..then will really have the sense of accomplishment....

i mean..you can spend all the money u wan to get a big one like in the pics..but I guess you only get to rear it till it goes into old age...not appreciating the growing phase..

haha........bro, dont forget that fishes that are easily available in US, we have to pay a high price to get them!

hmm....a 2ft dat can easily command a price tag of SGD 1K and above........

[shrienki]

[dawn]

This might sound dense, but that looks like a Clown Loach! Do they really get that big? I've got 6 in my main tank, and they will look stunning if they do! The Angels won't know where to hide! LOL Looks great, by the way ;)

[jardini23]

do your datnoids ever change there colors to dark. if so how often and well they eventually show more color and be more stable as they get bigger??

[jasoncambs]

just found this thread and thought i would have a brows as i have just bought the worlds smallest dats lol,, picked a couple of 2 inchers up from lfs today ,,, they are very shy at the moment , i hope they get more sociable soon ,,
must say some very impressive dats in this thread ,, what would be the growth rate of one of these ?

[janzal3]

What kind did you get? It depends on tank size, the bigger the faster they grow. Given a large tank they could get to about 6-8 inches in another year. In two years 10 to 12 inches. Given a large tank. After that, growth will slow and depending upon which type how big.
