Im new to dats, I'm lookin for a adult dat with a really white base not the usualy dark yellow/brown base, something like the one on top, also it the gravel is pure white, will that help the base color turn white?

yeah something like this

really don't like the base color on this one, too dark yellow

You won't get a white base datnoid. Juviniles at 4" or smaller will get that color but as it grow it will eventually start to become golden/yellow/orange.

The white base is caused from the dats environment. I had a widebar that was almost close to white for a good year. ( using bright light and white play sand.)
Once i threw in black sand the gold coloring came back. But not all dats get to that white color. Try your luck

My ST would actually turn to almost white when it a got a full stomach. Once hungry again it switch back to golden yellow.

Dats with a white base are going to be hard to find. I suggest just using photoshop to get the exact color you want.

I don't have any ST's with a white base, but I do have an IT with white base, which I've never seen before.
