I heard that Wide barred dats have been banned from export out of their origin. That sucks! :irked: Just wondering if all dats are banned or just the Wide Bars??
 
thailand banned export of Datnioides pulcher years ago but it did not help and they seem to be extinct in thailand now.
in other countries that border thailand pulchers were available and not banned from export but it looks bad for that area too now, we could be looking at a fish that may well become extinct in the wild soon.

Yea very scary to think, if i were to still have all mine and one died it would be on my head forever that i killed one of the last remaining of the species. So those of you that have them TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF THEM...LOL.
 
what if we removed all the fish from john's monster tank and filled it with nothing but widebars? You think it would be enough to get them to breed?
