I am leaning heavily towards getting some Dats,I will be looking them up on the inter net,but would really like some info from some of you guys,things like what sized tank do i need for 2 of them,are Silver Dollars good tank mates for them,are they picky eaters,and anything else you guys could add would be really appreciated!!!Also i live in Massachusettes and they seem like they are really hard to get around here.Anyone know where i can order some cheap????:nilly:
 
There are a couple of different types of Datnoids and all get large (over 16") but it takes them a very long time to grow. It is kind of hard to get Dats on the East Coast for a normal price. Silver dollars are fine as tank mates.

Use the search function to search for 'Datnoids' or whichever type you will decide on.

EDIT: Oh yeah, they are picky eaters and most people have hard time getting them off live food.

They make their own current.

very true on the fact that they are picky eaters... i have couple datnoids and 1 of em wouldnt take nothing but live food. i didnt notice at first so i only threw in krill until 1 of em just starved himself to death..he chose to die rather den eat froze or dried food.
 
also..i dont mean to steal dis thread..but i was wondering what the natural fishmates were in the wild for the datnoids...what other types of fish live together in the same river as the datnoids
