It seems that when I read about NTTs on here, there is a lot of chatter about how they are harder to keep when compared to other dats. What makes them different than the other dats? I am asking because I just got two new NTT and they are both eating. Just want to prevent any pitfalls that everyone has already been through.

I haven't noticed a difference. They do seem to be a bit more sensitive to water quality though.

Thanks Storllo. Water quality is not an issue in my tanks.

In my experience they are prone to parasite and gill problems.

Not sure about your question but I would suggest prompt quarantine and parasite treatment for all NTT.
