Dats in the Dovii tank.

[balton777]

I got these guys Oct. '07 at .75" and now they're 5-6". They eat Massivore Delight pellets and NLS 3mm sinking pellets. They live in a 265g tank with a Dovii, Festae, venezuela pike and grammodes. The first pic is when they were cute little babies.

Does the broken bar make that one low quality?

Aw what a bummer. He's the one with the most personality. He acts downright silly sometimes....swimming all weird and crazy....especially around feeding time. He cracks me up. He's not afraid to steal food from the cichlids or chase them out of the Dats' little area under the log.

Thx Benzjamin.

Thanks Bruce. I have 2 others that are still 2-3" because they still won't take pellets after a year. They only eat a few times a week when I treat with market shrimp or krill. In the last few months, the two shown here have taken off in growth since becoming gluttons for Massivore pellets.

Nice Dats. Glad it is still going pretty good for you.As for the broken bar..I think that would come down to individual likes and dislikes.

Nice Indos. I agree with greenterra. Some people like the oddball patterns more.
