Only the silver dat really needs to be kept in brackish water, all of the other speices of dat will do best in freshwater. Cheers.

some datnoids are from pure freshwater ( d pulcher, microlepis ) while some will thrive in brackish (D. Quadrifasciatus )

ya u shouldn't have a prob keeping most dats in fresh and u can add some salt to help in health of most fish. mines ben fine in a freash water enviroment

Only silver and new guinea datnoids are brackish (however, new guinea datnoids are also freshwater) water fishes.
