So I am just trying to figure out the different names of datnoids. I was reading the ID chart and see pulcher, microlepis, polota, undecimradiatus and campbelli. And then I am reading a couple of the "please ID" threads and I see NTT, IT, ST. And THEN there is the more common name that I see at the LFS that are wide bar, thin bar, split bar etc..

What does all this mean?!

IT/indo/4 bar dat= Indonesian datnoid
NTT/thin bar dat= north thailand tiger datnoid
ST/thick bar/gold dat= Siamese tiger datnoid
NGT/mottled dat= north guinea datnoid
AT/silver datnoid= american tiger datnoid

Most commonly seen in the stores is ITs which they claim are gold datnoids. Don't fall for this
