I've looked at pics online and can't really figure it out. This is the best pic I could get at the current time it loves to hide.

He's eating mostly bio gold+ and occasionally gets pieces of raw shrimp that my fahaka puffer doesn't finish. They both grew up together and the fahaka has shown absolutely no aggression towards any fish in the tank including some discus. I got very lucky and got one of the few 1% fahaka that don't kill everything in sight

Datnoid is about 7 and fahaka is about 5.5

Interesting stripe pattern.

The big datnoid protects the two young datnoid from the other fish and allows the two younger datnoids about 2.5 inches to take shelter in his hiding spot. Really interesting he pretty much chases everything off except for the two young. The two young datnoids do however occasionally fight. I'm hoping for that to go away with maturity. I'm waiting for my lfs to bring in another datnoid to add into the tank. Waiting for them all to grow before setting up the 300 gallon tank sittin in my garage
