Dat hype

[davo]

I dunno a lot loose their colours as they mature, but still a great looking fish for a long period of time. Guess it depends on the dat species as well

they look like tigers and act like dogs.
i just love em.

Try getting one and see what the hype is all about.

Bingo!!

are you familiar with an Oscars personality? That's a lot like a dat.

I've seen them in the pet stores - What personality?? I just don't see it... care to explain more?

you will have to own them to understand. they are imo one of the smartest fishes out there. it recongizes owners and know the hand that feeds them. they are always curious of new tankmates (they will always investigate new mates by sizing them up). usually when you see them at Lfs, they are not use to their surrounding so you probably see them hiding in the corner all black.

I didn't say anything about my opinion about datnoids, just wondering what everyone else saw in them, and I don't play with guppies. I play with fish that would gladly snap up datnoids for snacks, not that I would! lol

I find it EXTREMELY hard ot believe you have fish that would snap up a mature 20+ inch Datnoid... You dont like em cuz you dont have the Billlzzzzzzz$$$. Get one theyre like a dog.. i hate dogs too, Dats dont crap on the floor, but act like a dog, cant explain it.. and ofcourse when you see a dat in th store its not swimming around all joyful, Not too many Monsters are happy being in 10G tanks...its not Hype, its just Dats are the $$$$$$$$$$$hit..

A 20 inch Datnoid? Now that's something I have never even HEARD of before. Got anything to back up that claim?

And ... you think it's surprising? I don't think there's much that can stand up against a 2 foot plus Protopterus annectens
