also i would like to have them on the same diet as my aros

do you think they would eat mysis shrimp (for the rays..) and regular shrimp? what about dry food? or silversides?

thanks for your help!
 
Congrats on your new Pickup, its a Northern Thai Datnoid they can get up to 16" in length the third largest datnoid after the Indo (18" +) and the superior Siamese (20" +). In my opinion, I think the NTT datnoid are the most beautiful due to the more gold coloratin on its body and the bar are really thin. NTT are also very shy compared to the Indo and the Simamese.

As far as pricing wise, I think you got them just about the decent price not too cheap or not too expensive but it also depends on your location like other had mentioned above. Here in SoCal I got them for $30 each at 4" at Tong's Tropical Fish. Currenltly I have x6 NTT datnoid in total.
 
I have 2 NTTs. Paid $25 each for them. They look nice though
