Hi,I recently bought stickyrice's datnoids.I have put them into a 455 gallon tank with a silver arowana,blue arowana,and a huge jaguar ray.I know sticky once posted about his pair doing a dance and was curious if it was breeding behavior.Well they started doing the dance the day i put them in the big tank.Now the male has moved all the gravel out from under the wood and once in a while i see them both under the wood doing the dance(wagging side by side).The male will turn the most intense color like a banana.They are now starting to chase the arowanas away and the big ray.Could this be the start of breeding?I also noticed the female is very very fat??

sounds promising, I actually have a video of how they breed them in Thailand, artificially, I need to dig it up and see how they raise the fries, but they probably don't reveal the secrets.

Wow! I hope you get some baby Dats. You'd be the first I've heard that has a breed Dats in captivity.
