Dwarf datnoid?

Unfortunately there is no such thing as a Dwarf Datnoid. Only things I could think might be passed as such would be short bodied Datnoids though the price on these is likely to be a lot higher because some are into this style of fish, driving the price up and Nandus Nandus, sometimes commonly called a Marble Datnoid. They can reach around 9" if I recall though I've never seen one near that size. They share a similar shape and behavior to Datnoids but are not an actual Datnoid.
And to answer the second question, Silver Datnoids are the smallest variety maxing out around the 12" mark though some outliers can be a little larger. Generally speaking, you can expect any other Datnoid to reach at least 16" given enough time and space to grow. IT and ST Datnoids can both grow in excess of 18-24", I haven't been around much in the last few years but a member here T1 has arguably the largest ST in captivity, if I recall correctly it was close to 30" last I saw it.
Lol..I have no clue. Found that pic years ago on a Thai website and it always made me laugh
I have seen that photo quite a bit over the years and wondered about the dat's fate.Either way it's sad to see it shoehorned in that cube.
Agreed...that thing is a beauty and deserves to be back in the river breeding at that size
