Here is a pic of the AT i used to have when it had an outbreak the first time.
What kind is my lonely datnoid?
- Thread starter thebiggerthebetter
- Start date
Yup, exactly as mine.
I am surprised diflubenzuron worked on this protozoan (if the disease ID is correct) because this medication is mainly (or probably only?) geared to work on crustaceans via a very specific pathway of interfering with their molting process. Here we buy it as Dimilin X.
I am not surprised that Malachite Green, Methylene Blue, formalin, or salt kill them.

Parazin p is a med against diffrent things like anchor worms and parasites for ponds here in sweden. Its the only med i have found that takes out epistyles
Yup. This is exactly what mine looked like after being harassed by my other dats. As I stated earlier. Didn’t medicate and just rubbed the epistylis off with a tea tree oil soaked napkin, and moved it to a stress free tank. If my silver gets this again. I’ll medicate.
So my original AT, silver dat is no more as it passed from natural-appearing causes in 4500 gal.
About 13" (the tail was trimmed up a bit by tank mates post mortem) and 5 years old:

Mike ShookONES kindly sold his dat collection to us of 6 pieces but only 3 made the shipping, 2x indo and 1x NTT:
These guys have been doing quite well in a 240 gal and growing well. NTT took a long time to start coming out to feedings, weeks of not more than a month, as I was warned, but now it's one of the first at feedings. They like their 2" thawed glass minnows soaked in VitaChem.
Rodrigo also kindly transferred one of Vincent Wu's dats to me, an odd ball 3-stripe indo:
It also has been doing exceptionally well and recently was upgraded to a 1800 gal:
6:55 min
For some reason it had been ok with the silver dollars in their 240 gal for many months but now it chases them around in the 1800 gal. Not too often and they easily run away but I don't get it. Has anyone else seen this? Has an explanation?

Mike ShookONE's dats in their new 240 gal.
20:20 - 22:30 minutes:
And a new 5" silver dat donated to us by Jordan!

The silver refused to take any feed offered and perished in some weeks.
The two smaller indos have gone into an 1800 gal One takes pellets too and hence grows bigger.

Amur catfish aka Silurus asotus, 16", minds his business, works in earnest on a piece of herring, is interrupted by a 20", 3-bar Indo Datnoid perch.
