Where do you see the IT traits? Please point it out! thanks!

The 3rd and 4th bar, for one.

What's wrong with the 3rd bar? The bar is still slanted like a knife and curve backward toward the anus of the fish. (one of ST trait, right before the anal fin)
Now, let's go back to lymiq's picture for a comparison. His tiger's top portion, the 4th bar is slanted in (just like wenz's pic), is that meant his tiger is an Indo too???
For example, a Mazda Rx7 is a Rx7! A Veilside Rx7 is also a Rx7. You can't say a Veilside Rx7 is a Porsche 962 dauer because they look similar.
Same thing for datnoid. You can't say a D.pulcher is not a D.pulcher because it has a narrower 3rd bar stripe.
I know what you guys are trying to say, most (D.pulcher) ST's 4th bar goes down straight down and without a budge at all!
But that's not always the case as we seen in many D.pulcher!
Take a look at the pic below, is my fork bar Indo consider as D.pulcher too? It has a straight down 4th bar!![]()
sorry for the multiple posts...
Even my 1st 10"+ ST that I acquired in 2008, when everybody in MFK said it was a ST...
The 4th bar on the top portion is budging out like an Indo! The 3rd bar is not slanted down, but just going diagonally straight across the fish. So after so many years, now your telling me that it is an Indo and not a ST at all?
I am speechless!![]()
Just curious Fishes but what's your stake in this fish,are you looking to buy it or something?..You're going hard on this thing and you already know a thing or two about the various characteristics of pulchers so who cares what anybody else says.

A fish is judged base on the whole fish, not just one or two traits. With the way you judge a fish, there's no surprise to me that you kept buying those 3-bar IT as ST!sorry for the multiple posts...
