Datnoids , Why do you like them so much ? Seems to be a popular fish , anyone care to share why they think its a cool fish? This one seems to be a staple around here .
 
They have oscar like personalities and are extremely fun to watch hunt. Their patters are addictive (like clown loaches) and it's fun to watch them interact.


Plus, they look really cool:) When you own a dat (or 10) you'll know how cool they are

I agree with all of this, plus when they eat prepared food its fun to watch them to when they "pop" the water surface for shrimp or pellets. They have interesting swimming patterns to especially when they are small and do there little "hovering" thing.
 
For me they are sort of a challenge to grow them out from little guys to big monster fish ;) Plus personality goes a long way too.
 
First time I saw a Datnoid was on this site. At first they looked kinda plain to me, but the more I looked at them, the more interested I became. Now I have 6 and they're definitely worth keeping around.
 
I like them because they have great personality. They tend to leave other fish species alone that can't be swallowed. They are long lived if properly cared for. Plus they have those sad little puppy-dog eyes!:(
 
i just like the way they look. very unique and they're personalities are also very interesting to watch :)
 
Colors, shape, personality. Awesome fish.
