Indo Dats, I just got some nice looking ones too

The ones in Ecajoe's picture are Indo dats, Datnioides microlepis. Some have four body bars, indicative of microlepis from Borneo. Indos from Sumatra typically have three body bars, similar to widebars but the configuration of the bars is different. If there is perceptible width at the bottom of the middle bar, it's an Indo. The middle bar on widebars (D. pulcher) comes to a point at or before reaching the ventral surface. Also, Indos typically have three tail stripes, whereas widebars can have two or three tail stripes. (Thus, the tail stripe ID is not always dispositive.)

Soulfish's dat is a thinbar dat, Datnioides undecimradiatus.

Looks like wide bars to me. Here's what T've been thinking is a thin bar. I picked him up today. Those have alot more bars than mine and they are thicker too.

I was thinking that Indo Tigers were wide bars, meaning that they had 5 vertical stripes like the small one's I picked up. I may be wrong though.

How big is this little guy? i like it!
