Datnoids are mysterious creatures. Probably why I have about 10 of them lol. The only thing i Can add as far as stability is that as they get bigger/older, they get more stable

SAY CHEEEEEESE FELLAS .......
Going on 3 weeks in their new tank and purposely with no driftwood or decos and brighter lighting. I'm hoping stability occurs more often rather this mocha shiiiet.... or darth vader'ism ...................... LOL

Just put in the Driftwood back in since their tank move 3-4 weeks ago. Now dats decide they want to stable up a bit more. Hopefully, it progresses. If not, dat how they are.
God damn, i love ur army of clown loaches.
I wonder if water chemistry has to to w/ stability. Also, location due to magnetic field. Lol i mean who knows for sure. Im just throwing it out there.
I notice one dat swallowing a piece of bloodworm of my hand and bammmm, he then golden right away

Ok so. Im in a no way a dat enthusiast like most here. I have one dat because i like them. Period. I have never understood the whole stable issues. So let me see if i understand. If a dat is hiding all day, dark, faded bars, and just sits around its stable? My dat only get this way when im doing work in the tank or driving everyone crazy trying to net fish out. He will go nuts wedge himself or hide or sulk or breath rapidly and turn black with faded bars and look horribly stressed. So hes stable? Cause if this is the "stable" everyone tries to achieve then no thanks. I like him better when hes swimming around happily bright gold body with dark bold stripes and eating his flakes and pellets. Acting like a normal fish. So thats unstable? Im sooo confused.
Also one of his bars (when not dark of faded and gold colored body) doesnt go all the way down. Kinda like a oddball clown loach. Its just like half way down. I thought this was just his pattern but i was told this meant he was unstable?
