I have also heard of farms breeding dats from my LFS guys. The prices for thin bar dats is really cheap now and you often see shop tanks with 20-30 identical sized thin bars in it.

Just a thought-Maybe you guys that side have not heard about it yet to keep the prices up. I bought my 1.5" thin bar a while back for about US$5-8, can't remember exactly.

Nice post, thanks Peewee

Awesome Dixon! I was working on something last night, but since I don't have much experience with anything, but ITs, I'm sure you're will be a lot better than what I could come up with.

Personally I believe that dats bred in captivity are just a myth and I will not change my mind unless I see a video proof.
Being a pricey fish any potential "breeder" would be more than happy to share pics/vids of his facility as this translates into free advertisement ..... so far hundreds of threads and not even one picture surfaced the web.
This is more logic than evidence, but why would suppliers be wasting all their time and energy catching 1" fish in the wild that so many mfker's have? Surely its more economical to catch the larger fish.

Catching only the 1" fish in the wild instead of the bigger ones would mean that there would be a sufficient amount of adult specimens in the wild for that can spawn to meet hobbyist demand reason being dats take years to sexually mature. Its also a good way to keep their numbers sufficient in the wild to prevent overfishing of them which might lead a similar ban to the Siamese tiger datnoid. ( my own opinion )

There are no breeding records of dats in Singapore from what i know. Prices are low now probably due to season. Better stock up on them now!!!:nilly::nilly::nilly:
