I was looking at all of the picture of the dats and I was wondering where I could get some. I was also wondering if there are and special requirements for these fish. So if you have any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated thanks again
You can ask your LFS if they can get some in, try the vendors on MFK, or check out the buy/sell thread.
As far as special requirements... They need Very good water conditions to thrive. Should be kept solo or in a group as they can be a bit aggressive towards each other.
They have very large mouths so make sure the tank mates are big enough that they wont be eaten.
another requirement is a ton of patience. dats grow slow specially when they reach around 6 inches long. there are dats, particularly ITs that are hard to be made stable so they appear black all the time. when a dat is unstable, it would be very frustrating since you cant enjoy its beauty
