You should use the search function and do some searching on here. All of that dats are fresh except for the silver dat, which is brackish.

Datnioides pulcher (wide bar) are freshwater and get around 40cm.
Datnioides microlepis (Indonesian) are freshwater, and get around 45cm.
Datnioides undecimradiatus (thin bar) are freshwater, and get around 40cm.
Datnioides campbelli (New Guinea) are freshwater and breed in brakish, and get around 32cm.
Datnioides quadrifasciatus (silver) swim between freshwater and brakish, and get around 30cm.

what are you feeding yours? I got mine and wouldnt take non-live food. So fed him 1 or 2 ghost shrimp the first couple days. then starved him for 3 weeks. Now he's munching on freeze dried krill

Mine eat dried shrimp, omega super soft, hikari food sticks and pellets. Starve them out and have at least one fish that will eat these things to teach the dats. Good luck
