Anyone have any experience of IT, AT, NTT, NGT spawning? Do they work well with a good shoal in a deep pond like Arowana, or will they only do it in a pair?

Or they can just do it in a big aquarium? Any ideas? Any facts? :confused:
 
If you bred them let us know as no one else has done it

i know some people are going to say something like they are being bred somewere in the world well show me the prof until then its not been done
 
everything is possible. keep trying. I would like to know myself how to breed them.


If some one can breed them DATS will be cheap no so expensive like now a day.
 
You post made me think about an aspect of fish breeding that people sometimes don't consider: DEPTH of the tank. I have read several places that wild altum angelfish require very deep tanks to induce spawning, along with specific changes to their water. This has to do with their natural environment during breeding season. Maybe dats have a similar requirement?

I think the best bet for breeding dats in captivity would come from observing them and their breeding habits in the wild.

So it's your opinion that all captive dats are wild caught?

I would like to know how long everyone has had their dats? Does anyone have long term Dats in their tanks?
 
Try some Barry White and a little mood lighting.

not sure, but I heard someone in Asia has breed them before but it was at a particular time of year and they were in a hugeeeeeeee pond. I am not sure if its true or not.
