Hey guys. I'm proud to be a new Dat owner! This has been one of my dream fish and I've finally got one after months of drooling over it. :drool: Super excited about it.

What kind is it? I think it's an Indo but not sure since it's so young. So far he's been stable in color and has not gone black at all!

Sorry for the bad pics. These were from day one of getting him home. I'll get more as he gets acquainted in his new home. He doesn't have any of the black mottling on his body anymore. His color is great!

Now the trick is to get him off the ghost shrimp and onto pellets. I'm probably going to go straight for chopped fish since he's so small. I'll do the whole gutloading thing with the pellets if I can figure it out with the small pieces. He's around 3" nose to tip of tail.

I mean at first I'd say IT based on shape but the way the bars are speckled inbetween almost looks like a NGT.

I see what you mean, although he doesn't have anymore of the "fuzzy" markings anymore. He had a little bit of tissue damage from the tank he was in when I got him. Last I looked, he had healed and didn't have the speckling. I'll have to post a new pic of him in another day or two to show you but I'm pretty confident he's an IT. Well, at least I would really like him to be an IT. :headbang2
 
I will post more pictures in a few more days after he finishes getting adjusted.
