Blotched patterned dats. Rare?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Hello F Homer..... Is it just Indos or other tiger species as well ?
 
Although i'm not very familiar with Dat's, but as far as i can tell, and whats been advertised, there are more than just Indo Dat's... but as far as what other dats they are i can't tell you until the next time i go check out that area again...
 
we will see but with the amount of small IT being taken from the wild it will have a big impact on the next gen

you cant take take take and not think it will harm the wild population

the supply of IT will last longer than ST as their is a wider fishing area

who told you they are being bred ?

can you show me any proof of breeding

Our wholesaler who brings them to our store tells me they are being farm bred.

ask him to show you the proof

i can say they are being farm breed it means nothing without proof
 
i actually think they are farm bred.. although i can't get proof.. but there has been alot of odd patterned indo dats... which means it could be cause by inbreeding... the supplies has been steady and increasing... and most of them are oddball... but like i said if arowanas can be bred and our technology today can even do crazy stuff like vitro.. why can't we figure out how to naturally breed datnoids.. think about it...!!

oddballs dont necessarily mean inbreeding, but inbreeding does mean these farms have been breeding dats successfully, then raising the offspring to sexual maturity, and finally having the brothers and sisters get their swerve on with each other, for at least 2 generations-
right off the bat, Ill bet a sexually mature dat is a pretty old dat, so for the next generation to be ready will take a very patient farmer-

thats a very good point for inbreeding to take place they would have had to be breeding them for 8 years + :D

also if they are being bred why was the breeding info not past to the ST breeders
