Positive ID requested for Datnioides sp.

Hi guys,

I saw the fish in the following video at a store in Bombay.

Can the experts confirm this is a Datnioides polota?

Thank you,

It appears to me to be a Datnioides microlepis but it's really hard to tell in the video.

I'm with the dwarf.. unfortunately I can't see the video, since it's not availible but I can see the "start image" and judging from that those are about 5" indos..

Thanks guys.. However, I am not convinced that this is a Indo Dat..

The price was about 2 to 2.50 USD for a 1.5-2 inch specimen which seems a bit too low.

In any case, I am going to get these first thing tomorrow morning! (Hopefully they're still available.)

Cheers,
Sid

Looks like AT AKA silver AKA polota to me, saw 2 dots on the tail. Not to mention all bars were perfect and skinny.

yup, polota.. the video started working and yes those are some very active and curious polotas!
