After seeing a datnoid in a local LFS and reading up on them I decided I wanted one, so I went back to collect him/her yesterday.

From what I was reading I was expecting him/her to be very skittish and shy but infact he/she has been out and about and displaying some nice colours although not eaten yet to my knowledge.

Gets on well with all the tank mates and no one is bothering him/her.

What a cool fish, very personable, I think he/she likes it a lot better in my tank as at the LFS there were no hiding spots or plants to hide in.

I think it is a ST? Is it a he or a she?

Quite hard to get pics, this is the best I could get, he/she does go a nicer more deep colour sometimes..

not an st at that size
i think indo but i'm not an expert

nice dat tho, how big is it?
 
What is the scientific name for an Indo?

I have just fed some bloodworms tonight and he/she ate loads :)
 
Thanks :)

Isn't an Indo the same as a Siamese Tiger? ST?
 
No, ST price is through the roof compared to IT

do a little research...take a look at some pics and you'll see the difference.
 
WOw Very nice...Healthy stable..GL with it..
