Thanks bro,it took about a year.Once it started eating pellets it's growth stsrted to show.
Sweet bar!
Took about a year from what size?

Pellets seems to be part of its major contributing factor for growth. But what pellets are you giving these guys krich?

My 2 new "unclean" 3 bars just started taking pellets last week at 4"-5".

I'm stoked right now!!

I would say it was about three inches when I brought it home and the main pellet that I feed to my dats is Massivore pellets with a few other types...floating as well as sinking.I believe they are the best foods for growth and overall health because they are nutrionally complete as opposed and compared to feeder fish and raw shrimp.
Which pellets do you use?

Feeders a no-no definitely..

My pellets include Hikari Carnivore, Massivore and Cichlid Gold.
Also the occasional Frozen Ghost Shrimp and spirulina pellets.

Here hobbyist are actively trading Dats. But the thing that turn me off are majority feed them feeders as part of their diet.

You tried giving these guys mealworms or crickets??
What is your take on that?

I have never tried mealworms or crickets on my dats.I think my stable gets a pretty varied diet as it is but I could give those a try if they are nutritionally feasible.
