Hey,
the fish on the pic is an indo right?
Bought it online as Polota but I don´t think it is one.

Yes,the commmon name is indo and it's latin name is microlepis.Polota pertains to another dat species commonly known as the silver dat.

Hey,
thanks!
Well so I have to get rid of it as soon as possible.
Can´t keep such a large growing species because the biggest tank I can get for it would have to dimensions of 200cm x60cm which wouldn´t even be enough.

If it means anything to you,they are very dlow growers.

Hey,
I know but I will never be able to get a tank larger than 200cm x60cm.
So better sell it now than in some years when I´ve already got used to it.

Great thinking.

Hey,
here is a clip.
I really hope I´ll find someone who´s able to keep it.

Hey,
I am going to buy a 180cm x 60cm tank just to be safe if the person who wants to pick up the dat this month doesn´t show up.
Wouldn´t be big enough as well but it would make the time until I find a new home much easier.
(Especially for my conscience since I really am worried about the little guy)

Now I was offered a real Polota and some Nandus nandus (should be 2 or 3).
Two species I really want to keep.
But would those be ok in a 180cm tank with the Microlepis until the Microlepis moves out?

 

[Xeno]

Hey,
Today I was offered the dat in the picture.
But imo it's no Polota as well.
