So whats up with the hype?

[WeeNe858]

OOOOhh so now u want some huh...

They do great in groups..I would get like 5-7 for a 125g tank...But are u planning on keeping other fish wit them? If so I would do like 5, with some other tankmates.

U will be a tiger addict soon..

well.. iv been thinking about getting dats since my tank is kinda boring with all the nocturnal fishes. just wanted to know what the hype was all about

cause when they eat, they make that one of a kind noise

i also dont see why ppl need 10+ polypterus in their tanks?

Hey, now, that's over the line




dats have such great personalities and are very exciting to watch during feeding, moreso than just about any other fish i have had

They're up there on the "Do Not Buy" list for me, right next to Aros and Oscars.

I'm personally sick of people lol this isn't a why do you not like them thread it's a why do we like them and what's so cool about them thread.

I just have two indos.
They hide quite a bit, sometimes are stable for a month or so, then go back to not being stable.
But I like them, a lot.
Cool eyes, cool body shape, the way they swim.
I've even got them to take krill from my hands now.

They do grow slow, but thats cool because all I got is time.

i just got an IT to be my rtg arowana's tankmate, but when i saw how beautiful, active, and cool it was...well anyway... i have 12 dats now, and im hoping to get more...just one more...maybe...

yeah bro.I'm also sick of people asking why people like them because they are ugly or no color..well this is what I THINK.I'm with u ...it's all about what u like...u dont like them then good for u..dont buy them. personaly..I like big fish ONLY. small fish are cool, but not for me . I respect people who like to buy fish that stay small, they like it then buy it...more power to u.. about datniods..personality , marking and color. and of course SIZE is why I love them.
