It' actually Sumatra vs Borneo and to me only difference Sumatra get nicer yellow colors Borneo kind of dull. But they are both indos. Imo Sumatra way nicer worth the extra money but not the prices we are seeing.
The extra price is pretty damn ridiculous if you're asking me. Some sellers are asking €200 for a 4¨ Sumatra.
sumatra are more hard to find in the wild compare to borneo.
For color, sumatra more yellowish than borneo, borneo more red brownish more like copper.
Sumatra datnoid are more stable and bright than borneo, however personally i really like borneo because they have more unique pattern stripes and beautiful coloration if they get stable

I got 5 Sumatra's 3in to 5.5in, taking a long time to get color, 2 years now..healthy but shy,dont like light. put 3 red parrots in now some wont eat. really timid. trying everything I read in the forums. had some years ago wasn't this hard to care for.
I was just wondering if any shops you guys frequent note the distinction between the two variants?
when I bought my 5 I didn't know what Sumatra had to do with it, I knew they were Dats all hiding in a big tube in a dark tank $38.00 ea. I had lots of questions like why they so dark, will they get lighter, what they eating(worms)...there were 12 I bought 4 then came back next day got another, only two left some one else bought 5...didn't want to crowed my 150 gal. Funny after I saw the post on here about breeding and being plentiful in U.S. I called lfs to see what they had, siamise tigers about 1-1.5 in $269ea 10 instock, 3 bar indo tiger 3 in $300 5 available. Crazy..sombodys making money.
