Why do most fish shops call them Golden Datnoids? Is it because they really dont know the difference? Do they only think theres silvers and gold/yellow ones?
 
sometimes the stores do not know. The reason why they list it as golden is because that is the name that was given to them by their supplier. How is your dat project coming along? I just picked up 2 more dats. One of them is an oddball ntt with a hook on the bar. Total I have 5 now:headbang2
 
Yeah,the Indo that I have was labeled as a Red Tiger.
 
golden tiger is normally thin bar NTT
 
some of the suppliers out there do not know what the hell they are selling so they slap on any name they want and confuses alot of the buyer. the best choice for that is research what you want and take it if its the one you want. no need to be disappointed. :). just gotta know your fishes before spending money for them.
 
around me in Queens NYC....I see alot of Dats.. thin bars are the most I see... but I have to go to china town in queens to get them.. I ask my lfs to get some and he said he would, then a few days later I went and he said he had some and to my suprise they were all Silvers.. and he was sooo sure they were GOLDEN DATS..lol..I just left..

Yeah really,I saw a six inch American Tiger at a store today and it was labeled as a Mekong River Tigerfish and was priced at the bargain basement price of $69.99.
