DOes anybody else think that MFK should expand into a Datnoid catagory? it would seperate the threads a little easier, and it would be nice to see some Datnoid "FAQ" threads. ANyone agree?
Datnoids should have their own CATEGORY!

Come on mods/Admins lets set one up.. you guys got a catagory for snakeheads.. i think almost as many people have dats as snakeheads..if not more!
I don't, and I think that the channa section should also be removed. My reasons are stated elsewhere but basically ammount to "Where does it stop? A catagorey for everyfamily? Genus? Fish named Bob?"
I see where guppy is coming from with this...
However, i think the staff need to study what fish are discussed most in this particular forum, then make categories based on that.
Either construct logical categories all at once, or leave the 'Other Monster Fish' as it was.

Ok ok let me say I campaigned hard and long for the snakehead forum the reason being 1 I like them 2 I have had a fare few 3 i like them and 4 i like them 
but most of all there are several species of Channa this made me feel they required there own forum. There are four actual Datnoid species available to the aquarist thus and I know I know you love them and there your thing but it really dose not warrant a whole section to its self. Channas well this is just a few of them.
Channa amphibeus
Channa argus
Channa asiatica
Channa aurantimaculata
Channa bankanensis
Channa baramensis
Channa barca
Channa bleheri
Channa burmanica
Channa cyanospilos
Channa gachua
Channa harcourtbutleri
Channa lucius
Channa maculata
Channa marulioides
Channa marulius
Channa melanopterus
Channa micropeltes
Channa nox
Channa orientalis
Channa panaw
Channa pleurophthalma
Channa punctata
Channa stewartii
Channa striata
They are still finding new ones i bought an unidentified blue form of snakehead imported from Assam in India last week so this is why it had its own forum.
I hope you all dont hate me but as Neo once said to me where do you draw the line

Draw the line at dats, I can't even think of another subforum other than snakeheads and dats. Anabatoids?
I agree there's enough forums already but if angels get a forum then dats definitely should!! How many of us here look on this website for angels and discus, they're not monsters! dats should definitely get one if they get one!!
I also agree there's prob not enough species of dat for a forum but there's not many species of peacock bass, angels, or pike cichlids so it's not really a valid reason for not having one
