ID this datnoid

If I'm not mistaken this should be Siamese Tiger fish.....it's from Thailand....

they were labled as "indonesian wide bar tigers"

thanks for the input everyone

Yup, that's what they are, Alex. Datnioides microlepis or Indonesian datnoids. They can either have three bars like a widebar, four bars, or a different number of bars on each side. An "Indonesian widebar" is merely a "pick of the litter" D. microlepis that has three bars one each side. However, as Wesley correctly noted, the three tail stripes are a dead giveaway that it's a D. microlepis and not a D. pulcher, i.e., true widebar.

Deathcurl has a true widebar with three tail stripes.

Fish Room Plus, I really don't know what your fish is... perhaps you can post more pictures?
