Extra large Polleni or Indo dat

[TheTankMates]

Ok here is the deal, I am trading away a 9 or so inch female Dovii, I have the opportunity to trade for an extra large beautiful Polleni, however I need to include my 5ish inch Indo Dat as well for this trade to happen. Dats and polleni/bleekeri are my two favorite fish. I already have a male and female polleni however they are not nearly as large as this one that is available. I am firmly stuck in the middle! One second i say go for it, the next moment I can not imagine getting rid of my Dat. In my area though IT's are easier to come by then Polleni. Help me out please.

Polleni, being a big one. So rare to come by.
Would not hesitate a second.

Keep the dat.

Polleni all the way. Size is a factor but coloration too. I've been researching alot about them lately and the best looking ones IMO have a high contrast between dark black body and really bright white spots. Go for quality not just size. Post pics too!

Let us be practical! This is no contest.

Just in here, at MFK, compare the number of Dats to the number of Pollenis, much less biiig ones.

There is no comparison. dats will be available for a long time yet. polleni not very long, so rare they are.

I'm partial to Datnoids and don't like cichlids lol

 

[Miguel]

Exactly the opposite here, Lol...

That's the problem with a poll like this. Everyone has their preferences. I guess if you look at it from a rarity and stand point and the OP likes both, then I would have to go with the polleni.

I would say Polleni as they can be bred and are very rare in the wild.
