Dat hype

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Well... nice doing business huh? Did I miss something? Must have been a one-man deal on your part. Most literature online and written give max sizes as larger than what can be expected in an aquarium. 24 inches? That's why I asked for proof in the pudding.
Still nothing a 2-3 foot lungfish couldn't handle...

But in all reality - go back to my first post - I'm just wondering what everyone sees in them, that's all. Just like an oscar? Interesting. Sure, I've done the whole oscar bit many times over.
 
yes they do get 24 inches. i have seen aobut 3 at fullsize. they are really amazing fish. expensive but worth the money. they are one of few fish that have a great personality. in my opinion oscars and dats have the most personality. some are aggresive. some arent. the ones u see in stores are stressed. once u get it into a tank and have them kickn it in there for a lil, then the personality and colors come out.
 
Oscars are lame... You try tading in that fish when it outgrows your tank you'll get less then what you bought it for... u full grown Dat, Pulchar you can sell for hundreds...ITs a fish not meant for lame people.. so keep your lungfish, there cool too but i like the Tigers!

Wow....now you're oozing with hypocrisy.

What's the difference between the implication that dats are lame and you saying oscars are?
:ROFL:


ETA: I agree that dats are cooler:)

I like Tigers, not Oscars... i guess i dont see the "hype" for an O.. u can get em at every LFS across the world...
 
I never brought up Oscars.

I asked about what people thought of Dats, and why they were popular on here.


Mods, I smell a derail attempt.
 
here is a couple big dat pix. Claimed to be 19"
(not the pic I was looking for)

Sorry santoury, I brought up the oscar issue because that's what I compare their personality to.
 
oscars have cool personalities but are ugly a big dat has personality but looks good what more can you ask for?
