THats the way of the Dat... possibly why so many people dont like them. Dats are either You love em, or you think they are pointless to own.

Many people think that Dats are bright yellow with bold black stripes 100% of the time... in reality only 15% of the Datnoid fish population is stable 100% of the time, and they command I high price.. I am currently looking and waiting for the perfect NGT.

I would say an 8" aro will be too large for the dat in no time.. It doesnt really matter what size aro you get though, because Dats grow soooo slow! Arowanas grow so fast in comparison. As long as you keep the aro nice and full there shouldnt be a problem. Worse comes to worse you spend 25$ and get a new Dat if it is eaten... you should be able to find ST near you for a great price anyway!

haha i think i'll forget the idea about a arowana . STs at my area cost a bomb man . and i'm still a student , so STs are way out of my budget thats why i went for 3bar ITs . cheers bro

What a good looking 3 bar Indo. The middle bar sweeps back to a point just like ST. Keep it. Decent 3 bar Indos are in high demand.

I think I posted on another thread..... Don't worry about it going black. In a month, could be 6 months, maybe a year , it will hopefully get the gold and black bars back. Then you will love it...

Spot one. Totally agree. I've had unstable ones for up to and over 1 year, then they go stable and stay like that to this date

do they accept it readily ? btw should i strave them or put the pellets in the shrimp then feed them ? is there any special chemical or supplement make them more hungry or eager to accept food ? maybe this way they would be much easier to pellet train
