3 Bar Indo or Thinbar?

[Gage Zamrzla]

This is my new dat, he's about 2.5" and I'm not quite sure if this is a 3 bar IT or NTT. The thing that confuses me is we always get ITs where I work, always labeled gold tiger datnoid. Never since I've been there have we gotten anything but the 1.5"-2.5" ITs and this is the first solid 3 bar, both sides are right and they both slightly slant back. I'm wondering if it's just a baby NTT, not a 3 bar IT. Opinions?

Looks like IT

That's what I want to hear

Anyone else?

I'm leaning more towards IT.

What makes you say that? I'm curious on how you'd tell the difference between 3 bar and NTT when they're this small. Are the bars of the NTT noticeably smaller even when they're young?

I admit, I'm one of those that will use tail stripes to help determine which Dat it is, but I also look at body shape. Since the stripes are hard to see, I'm going by the head shape. It's more pointed while NTTs seems to slope more downwards.

I see, I'll get a more stable picture and post when I get one.

I say NTT.... The bars are thin. U can just about make out the middle and tail bars.
U can make go stable for a little while by either throwing in some live river scrimp or using an algae magnet near glass. Might work, might not...
