Pls ID my datnoids.

that is what he is trying to say.. there are (almost) no juvie wide bars..

 

[jackylim]

the tail stripes are a good start point but their are many other factors that need to be taken into account

body shape
position of the centre bar
shape at the top of the rear bar
size chances are if the fish is below 10 inch it wont be a ST

are you mean we cant get ST below 10 inch?

A friend of mine is from thailand and he says theres a bunch of Juve Widebars (ST) in there, especially when he went to Vietnam. He's trying to figure out how to bring them here.

there are rumors all thet ime, but no one has been able to bring true widebars into the market for years now.

not even the Japanese are getting fresh imports.

the above fish is definitely an indo tiger, not even because there are no widebars available but just by looking at the stripes it's clearly not consistent with that of the true widebar datnoid. Especially the neckline, which is unusually thick compared to the rest of the stripes, which is very indicative of an indo tiger. The center stripe does not taper down into a point but rather the same width from top to bottom, straight down. The third stripe is wider at the top which almost never occurrs in a widebar tiger.

i say possible pulcher from mekong river system... not like those found in chao phraya.... everything people said above as far as physical traits of pulchers are more "quality based" "japan grade"..... one simple overlooked distinction which led to my id was the high body shape.... compared to the indo small line dat in the second pic you can see the more "compact" shape..... ive imported hundreds of mekong dats in the past from 1.5-3" they have the most controversal patterns.......
