Full freshwater Dats or some salt?

Gotcha - thanks. And why not ?

I don't see silvers by me. Indos are the ones you see all the time. Not a lot of people like or keep silvers

I was speaking in general terms - I've never had one - and was curious if they might be something to try down the line.

I've never put salt in for any of my dats and that includes silvers. That being said, I've been thinking of doing a seasonal brackish tank to see what happens

I used to keep some ITs with with my Moray Eel (Gymnothorax Tile) and I did a light brackish tank for 2-3 months of the year. I never saw any negative effects on the Dats and I kept that setup going for almost 5 years.

yea all the small cheap ones at LFS are most likely indos

Did the Dats behave any differently?

People don't like the overall look of silvers. They are different looking in terms of head and body shape and they don't display that bold gold and black look.
