are scats related to dats?
i picked up 2 silver scats 4 my gf and they look so much like dats the body shape is a little rounder then a dat the funs look the same the eyes look the same or they totaly unrelated?
 
In a vague sense I guess they would be related. But I really don't see the resemblance between the two species, dats tend to be more triangular in the face than scats.
 
You have quite an imagination! ;)

they look nothing alike and r not related. But do come from Asia like the datnoides. Also beautiful fish IMO (photo nicked off the Internet, apologies to the photo owner)

They live and thrive in brackish water. Is your set up FW?
 
I stand corrected::nilly:

As Scorponik suggested, strictly speaking, they are both perch like. (i didnt think about that), but there are 1000's of fish that fall under Perciformes.

I didnt think they were related at all before now.
