you need to debate whether they are D pulcher and not ST as they are not from Thailand.

What he said.
 
There are some of those tiger wild caught in Cambodia, and ship it to thailaind. Do they still iding as wide bar/st or something else?.

Looks like IT the middle bar and colour

A true ST wouldn't go unstable even if you took it our the tank and kicked it around the floor which is why people want true ST because they always stay stable no matter what

It's still a very nice fish and I would buy no matter what it is as long as the price was right
 
Not sure about that TBH. The terms ST, IT, D. Pulcher are not used in general.
They call Dats, Pla Sua Dor which translates as Fish tiger...... (not sure about the Dor right now).

I have asked about them at JJ which is a very big market and they are aware of the ST, IT labels.

This is worth a look.

It was not completely correct! I've seen ST goes unstable in one tank to stable in another tank. Bottom line, they're still datnoid, which is all capable of display different color from being in different environment.
The fish posted by Prime322 is definitely not an IT. It's a D. pulcher.
 
D. pulcher comes in all bar, all color.... :D Fish in pix 3 and 4 are same, but see how its color changed... The one in 3rd pix from the last, and the one in last pix, when pulled out of water under fluorescent light will be as white as the one Prime322 posted... Please tell me they're IT, instead of D. pulcher! :ROFL:

Right I read in this thread that mike at h20 brought 40 of the ST look a likes

He says he THINKS they are real and he's going to grow them out to see

But without dissing mike they are not rays and how often do we ever see him in the tiger/dat part of this forum


Ok here we go again, HOW OFTEN DO YOU EVER SEE ME IN THE tiger/dat forum? lol come on man are you really going here again? Just cause I dont have the time of day or care to post in that forum why would that effect my knowledge of fish?

I have owned, collected and sold more large ST then just about anyone I know in the US except for the old school guys who use to import them back in the day. If someone wants a ST beside myself I dont know any other store or vendor who even has any and I own 8 pieces myself.

Just a few shots and by way those 40 pieces of look alike ST I have are really amazing quality and I just enjoy to see small ones around been a long time

It called Vietnamese Tiger or "Ca' Cop" :headbang2 if you wanna to know..What make you think there is no such thing as VTiger..Got any proof to back that statement up?????
What make you guys THE Expert to say that there is no True Pulcher in Vietnam, prove me wrong...:popcorn::popcorn:

there is no such thing as "VT"...if it is, I would love to find out the scientific name for it.

If calling a 3 bar indo, vietnamese "pulcher" helps you sleep better at night that's fine, but as far as I'm concerned, being a "new/different " variant, I need to hear it from a reputable source in order to believe it, such as magazine, scientific article, etc.
..and I don't need to prove you wrong, quite the opposite...you have to back up your statement with something else other than plain words....you can start by telling me what is the scientific name of the vietnamese "pulcher" :popcorn::popcorn:
