show off my extra wide bar - 8"

[lymiq]

only way to get a good shot is out of the water for mine. A 75gal residence since about a year and a half ago at 3.5". What you guys think?

[lymiq]

Some youngin' pix ... very irresistable back then as you can see. Black bars are thicker than the yellow space between them

[fishyboi]

WOW, Them bars are thick

[BastardFish]

Dude that is one of the best looking Wide Bar's I have seen in a long time! Hats off to you wish he were mine haha:popcorn: :headbang2 :D

[soulFish]

how come his tank is empty?? :popcorn:

[benzjamin13]

That's a sweet Wide Bar!

[rallysman]

Wow! I think I saw that picture in the dictionary beside the word "perfection"

[VVateverzYo]

how much did u buy him for? nice specimen

[lymiq]

Thanks guys for the nice comments!
Soulfish -- i was in the process of a weekly large 75% water change ... only time to catch him and get a good look is when he's out of the water ... he's always moving in the tank and i never seem to get a good look of this guy on camera ...
VVateversyo -- i thought the store had me good :cry: -- i forked out $65 buck

[sQwiReL]

thats not too bad of a price for a wide bar at 3.5". it grew to an awesome looking fish and i would say that $65 is nothing for such a piece like that.

[Steve_89]

Stunning fish.

A perfect specimen.

[sma]

beautiful pulcher!

[KurseD]

AWSOME dat you got there.

[zaric]

Best dat so far:thumbsup:

[hurricane_redbone]

[freeskierrocket]

[Euge]

[vanimate]

I agee with everyone else! Great looking pulcher ;)

[Nic]

that is a beautiful pulcher

[T1KARMANN]

that is real nice :D

feed it up a bit and put a heater gaurd on the heater and it will grow up very nice

[koliveira]

Wow! I would love that tiger!!

You want to sell him? lol really though do ya?

[rkc772]

looks really nice. At $65 you did not make any mistake buying it. I would buy it at a higher price if given the chance to pick it up. Keep us updated!:D

[lymiq]

kory .. you got a shipment of tiger coming in ... should be plenty there to chose from .. hehe

sqwirrel, rkc .. he was in the shop for about a month with a 2.5 incher pulcher. some guy ordered them but didn't want them for whatever reason, i was told. I passed him up first time i saw him bc he was dark and hidding in the corner - probably due to bare tank. After a week of chewing at it, i decided that he would look good in my tank so I drove an hour to the shop and picked him up .. 3 weeks later i picked the other little guy up. You guys are right, now looking back 65 bux ain't bad :nilly:

I know but I want yours! He is perfect! 65.00 is not bad at all. I would pay up to 350.00 for one of that quality mayber more.

for some odd reason the person who ordered it must be myopic in reality. datnoids are easily stressed out, they will hide and become dark, but when properly acclimated on the tank, the fish gives brilliant yellow and black bands. However, some datnoids are low grade, and some are high grade, the only time you see them come out of the nice color is when they have established themselves in the tank. the fish is considered a grade A datnoid. you don't see them at that price and at that quality. i have several datnoids myself but your datnoid stands out! :D keep it, it is like a treasure in the deep blue ocean. :grinno: told some of my friends to keep their widebars, they are not regularly available and might not be in the near future.

[JustLooking]

Like stated over & over,Dat perfection.

[dbenson]

[AnDr3w]
