Not just stability.No indo is as outgoing and active as a widebar.Did you check the thread that I mentioned?
Very true.shua71;4927530; said:400+ for a small fish. Wonder how long until they're all wiped out in this new location..
That didn't stop the other ones from being overfished.Coues;4927691; said:As far as them being eaten, I'd imagine not many will reach the dinner plate when they are fetching $400+ for a 3" fish here in the states.
Do you own a ST that is out going?krichardson;4927682; said:Not just stability.No indo is as outgoing and active as a widebar.Did you check the thread that I mentioned?
Yup and my indo dats are out going as well. Personally I can't tell from the tail pattern but people are arguing pretty much with stability. I have one out of six dats that is always 100 pct stable so I dont see why they aren't hand picked dats. I really have no opinion on what they are though.krichardson;4927682; said:Not just stability.No indo is as outgoing and active as a widebar.Did you check the thread that I mentioned?
2nd set is the true datnoid pulcher from chaopraya in Thailand. This fish has not been circulating for years now, only some large ones are still found left over from years ago. Non of these have been exported in recent years, this fish is rarer than the asian arowana by 1000 times right now! and I can't even get them.
Notice the tail band always sweeps into one., so with a total of seperate bands of 6 bands only. Large and small specimens, and their colors are usually bright golden color!
and now here comes the so called cambodian, vietnam, whatever, they often have split bars on one side or another, typically will have 7 bars, since the tail bar does not usually connect, or 8 if the split on one side is complete. they're the closest to a wide bar, some look almost identical. but their colors usually have a gray overtone, some will stay nice and yellow, but most are not stable. I have experience with selling this fish and keeping them as well. here are some examles, and I belive this is the fish we have on hand now that we're dealing with. I'm not calling it a different species, but it could be, or at least a geographical variation of datnoid pulcher. they look almost just like a chaopraya, but the tail is different and color stability is usually not there.
some may remember the one in the first picture, was from my shop, it was always black, so this guy jarret talked me into selling it, then he moved it, and it turned bright! this and look at the tail band!
I was a little confused about the first question that you asked.I thought you might have been mocking my choice of words or description but then you used the same words to describe your indos.To answer your question though,yes I do own an ST that is outgoing as was the previous ST that I owned and all others that I had the pleasure of seeing up close.Most of all of the indos I have had over the years have acted shy at one time or another.There were those that I've had that were not shy but the two different fish just act different in my observation.Good for you if you have been fortunate to have very active and outgoing indos.bomber;4927702; said:Do you own a ST that is out going?
All my IT tigers beg for food and is very out going.
I have not exp with any indo's being shy. My guess is you have?
