Please help me ID my Dat

This guy is 10.5" long. Ive had him since he was just 2". brackish water - high salt content at 1.018. seems to be thriving.

Sorry about the dirty glass. This is a holding tank while I'm setting up a new 240. I had to chase him out of the shadows to get the pic.

It's a beautiful forkbar indo. Is it the same on other side?

No fork on the other side. Is that common?

Do you see any issue moving this guy to freshwater? I'm consolidating into a new 240.

No issue at all but I would acclimate him gradually. I wouldn't just dump him from brackish to fresh right away.

+1 on that for sure gradually make the change, and if it had a fork on both sides making it symmetrical you could probably get more for it if you wanted to sell. I wouldnt sell that thing its gorgeous!

Wow, such stability and colour

Curious to see if theres a change in color when he goes to freshwater. I think this is the second indo in brackish we've seen with vibrant colors. Nice thick colorful dat! What's he eat?

Live fish 4 to 5 times a month. Mostly massivore pellets. Is very dark - almost black - while hiding in the shadows of the driftwood and lightens up when he wanders out. Btw - anyone now how to sex them? I would like to add 1 or 2 in my 240. I'll take photos as I set up and transfer into the new tank.
