Datnoid ban

[eman b115]

a community seller in another forum stated that datnoids are now illegal to export from any where in asia, and that only farm raised dats from vietnam are allowed. Is this true.

Thailand has had a long-standing export ban on D. pulcher, but I'm not aware of any other restrictions. I have heard that poor water quality in the Mekong basin has ruined datnoid harvest in Vietnam. That could affect D. pulcher, D. undecimradiatus, and D. quadrifasciatus. However, that shouldn't affect D. microlepis, D. campbelli, or the New Guinea population of D. quadrifasciatus.

I seem to recall that it was related to flooding, but it was only an unconfirmed rumor.

That Dat ban would really suck! I'm trying to save up for a few and a large tank as well.
