Most dats will handle a wide range of pH...it's stability of pH that is key for survival.
I don't keep any of my dats in brackish water...even NGTs and ATs. I just use a little rock salt, but it's nowhere near brackish.

i was talking about in the wild, I have read about alot of ppl having success with AT and NGT in fresh. Infact I think more ppl keep them in fresh then brackish.

D.microlepis and indo are synonymous. So no it doesn't change anything, a neutral pH is fine. ;)
