A little confused!?

[bahamaqt00]

So I am just trying to figure out the different names of datnoids. I was reading the ID chart and see pulcher, microlepis, polota, undecimradiatus and campbelli. And then I am reading a couple of the "please ID" threads and I see NTT, IT, ST. And THEN there is the more common name that I see at the LFS that are wide bar, thin bar, split bar etc..

What does all this mean?!

 

[dragonfish18]

wide bars are st
thin bars are ntts
and split bars are what they souund like usually an indo with a split in the bar

Thanks! So what is an indo? And I have seen silver dats at the LFS, what are those called?

Silver Dats = AT = American Tiger.

Most LFS label them as Gold Tiger Fish.

remeber there are also 3 bar indos that looks like st.

 

[poly-nomial]

IT/indo/4 bar dat= Indonesian datnoid
NTT/thin bar dat= north thailand tiger datnoid
ST/thick bar/gold dat= Siamese tiger datnoid
NGT/mottled dat= north guinea datnoid
AT/silver datnoid= american tiger datnoid

Most commonly seen in the stores is ITs which they claim are gold datnoids. Don't fall for this

IT/indo/4 bar dat= Indonesian datnoid
NTT/thin bar dat= north thailand tiger datnoid
ST/thick bar/gold dat= Siamese tiger datnoid
NGT/mottled dat= north guinea datnoid
AT/silver datnoid= american tiger datnoid

Most commonly seen in the stores is ITs which they claim are gold datnoids. Don't fall for this

Most common here are ATs

 

[BlackShark11k]

AT = American Tiger (Datnioides polota, formerly Datnioides quadrifasciatus)
NTT = Nortern Thailand Tiger/Thinbar (Datnioides undecimradiatus)
ST = Siamese Tiger/Widebar (Datnioides pulcher)
NGT = New Guinea Tiger (Datnioides campbelli)
IT = Indonesian Tiger (Datnioides microlepis)

 

[poly-nomial]

Most common here are ATs

should've clarified. ITs are most common in my area. I have yet to see ST, NGT and AT in my area
