a community seller in another forum stated that datnoids are now illegal to export from any where in asia, and that only farm raised dats from vietnam are allowed. Is this true.
What about ewurm farm raised dats? I am working on it! LOL

so ***.. hope not.. and yes i hope ewurm gets tons of fry.. ill buy em...
Thailand has had a long-standing export ban on D. pulcher, but I'm not aware of any other restrictions. I have heard that poor water quality in the Mekong basin has ruined datnoid harvest in Vietnam. That could affect D. pulcher, D. undecimradiatus, and D. quadrifasciatus. However, that shouldn't affect D. microlepis, D. campbelli, or the New Guinea population of D. quadrifasciatus.
I heard about the vietnam thing. What was the cause i cant remember?

I seem to recall that it was related to flooding, but it was only an unconfirmed rumor.

ECZS is soooo full of crap its unreal, dont believe anything that moron has to say!! He tried to pull tat with rays from Peru a few months ago just to boost his sales. Look around plenty of Dats around, except Pulchers:(
As long as I am able to get some when I am ready....... this does suck though, keep adding to the looooong list of fish we wont be able to keep.
