datniods or oscars????

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
i just started raising an O. Never had a dat. so for me im going with Oscar. :headbang2
 
I have never been impressed by dats myself so i would say oscar

although... 12 inch dat is much more rare than a 12 inch oscar...

its really up to you... which do you like more? make sure you are getting the fish YOU like and not getting the fish just to impress people on a fish forum
 
IME dats have the personality of a cichlid. my dat tank is to the side of my couch and my dat will sit there watching my sit on the couch and get worked up if i come towards the tank. 12" dat for me please :D
 
Weird thread...

Posting in the Cichlid section will get you a lot of "Oscar" answers whereas posting this in the Datnoid section would get you 100% "Datnoid" answers.

Try the general aquaria section for a more balanced thread. :)

(my answer is Datnoid, by the way! Love my Dats.)

So far this doesn't seem to be the case. Datnoid seems to be the popular choice even amongst us cichlid lovers. If this was a choice between a more popular cichlid I think the votes would be a lot different. I don't really care for Oscars. I've only seen one or two that have impressed me. That being said,+1 for the Datnoid. Eventually I would like to have a dat and a flagtail once I get some compatible cichlids.
 
if your tank is larger enough why sell yourself short get both,i have seen tanks with both and they were impressive show tanks. I VOTE BOTH!!!
