Neeeew Hampshaaa
I was just wondering about how there are so many baby Datnoides around various LFS these days...

I mean not until this past week i have NEVER seen a dat in any LFS around me, and now every LFS across America seems to carry them...

I was just wondering what you guys thought the reason was for the sudden Boost of Datnoides available in the hobby??

I mean i ve seen that most of these are all Indo dats too... I couldnt find a Baby Widebar though if my life depended on it... Whats the reasoning?? Thanks MFK!
 
They spwaned , got caught, got imported, now there are thousand around the world now being offered. First there were none,now there are plenty
 
thats what im saying! but how come theres only baby indo dats going round... never baby widebars... get them to spawn!
 
i dont kno what the reason is but im still tryin to get my hands on some. i got a hold on 4ish but im waitin for my lfs to heal them cuz they came in sick. out of 10 dats, 3 already died, and the other 7ish have ich...
 
thanks for the heads up john. i jus hate paying for shipping, makes the fish over double the price of normal. im gonna wait on these babies here locally to heal up. at 20 a pop, can't complain as long as they make it.

Watch out the LFS that are getting these guys have absolutley no IDEA how to take care of them.. my LFS had a dozen baby indos and out fo the 12 i got 2 and 8 died in the store... they had the bright idea to put 1" baby dats in with 2 " convicts... needless to say i told the LFS to not do that anymore and they agreed. also they were feeding them Brine shrimp to no avail and they didint even try any other foods, they said that some of the dats actually starved, funny cuz the 2 i got i bvrought them home, threw in some bloodworms and i had 2 FAT BELLIED dats 5 mins after they were let out fo the bag... it just shows that LFS tend to not care for ODDBALLS as well as the common cichlid... damn shame too.. i needa open a LFS!!! im serious. thats why im getting my business degree right now!
 
Nothing anywhere close to a Dat locally here in our LFS's.:drool: .....I'm somewhat green that you are enjoying access to even the small ones.

I was SHOCKEDDDDDDD, i put myself on waiting lists at every LFS within a 45 mile radius of me for any dats and widebars in particular... but all the LFS around me dont know the difference between a Dat and a cichlid... Im just glad i finally got some in my stores here in southern NH!
