It's currently about 4-5" and will only eat Hikari pellets. Little punk.

What does a "full necklace" mean anyway?
 
better than only eating feeders, thats the most common problem. im still a newbie with dats but i think that the necklace is the stripe right behind the head/gills of the dat, not many datd have a full necklace, yours almost does though.
 
Thanks for the info. Mine has about 1/8" of an inch between the two ends of the black markings.

I'm not complaining that it only eats pellets, it just won't touch the krill, shrimp, and earthworms I toss in. :( I like variety.
 
Very nice Indo, gotta love the split bars.

weird, usually its easier to get them on the meaty foods, and harder to get them on pellets.
 
Or my photography has just improved a bit. ;)

It's never been anything but stable, but I've never had a dat before so I might be claiming something that isn't true.
 
Pretty tiny. 2-2.5"? It's grown about 3" in 6 months, which seems to be the growth rate for these guys.

Though I'm terrible at judging size.
