im no dat expert but it appears to be an indo. although the bars arent clean so maybe it could be a NGT?? pics arent that good.

its an indo tiger/microlepis... just look at the bands and the 2 even bars on its tail... an NGT has a smaller mouth compared to other dats...

I would say Indo too. Like the unusual patterns. Most Indo have clean stripes but yours have a unique one. Nice pickup! Just fatten it up.

Yeah,some show a stripe down the front of the and some dont and some indos dont even have as many bars as yours.Indos may have the widest array of different markings out of the whole dat family.
Thats a very nice IT.
cool how it has slightly patchy markings around the head

It could be an NGT because there is a bit of speckling and the bars arent defined where they begin and end but it could just be a weirdly marked IT either way a very good deal at $30

The size of the mouth is way to big for a NGT. NGT's have smaller mouth.

Your probably right it is a fantasticly marked IT then, that will look amazing at 12"-14" when it gets there!

His a lucky person to have that kind of IT with unique patterns. Make me want to hunt for something like that too.

I know it's prolly not a possibility but could if be a cross breed? NGT, IT? Just throwing that out there.

All Datnoids are wild caught. IT and NGT don't cross path in the wild. No one have breed datnoids in captivity and hybrid will even be impossible.

looks like a ngt and indo mix. i seen many ngts and never once i saw something look like this one. great fish by the way. nice pick up. i dont think thats a indo. it has a head of a NGT
