Hello my lfs has some dats in stock and I don't know if they were indos or widebars. I didn't have time to take a pic but I'll try my best to describe it. It was about 2'' for 25.99 and it was lightly yellow with black stripes running from the middle of the fish to the end of the fish. He was in with a couple redhooks over at Fish Frenzy. I really hope its a widebar. Can some one please post pics of a widebar and an Indo?

Yellow with black stripes you say....hmmm I'm gunnu have to go with indo on this one too. No doubt.
 
Alright.. I have heard widebars have been banned from export so they must be indos.. should I get one for 25??
 
If they were stableish, were at my LFS and I wasn't selling all of my tanks, I would buy the whole lot. But that's just me.
 
widebar normally has 3 think bars straight down the middle and most of the time indos has 4 bars. also what you need to consider is there are indos that have 3 bars also. also know as fake St's, considering its a small size fish and going for 25 dollar or so i would have to say its a indo. if lfs sells the st's for that price considering the rarity of the fish they would be loosing alot of money. for the prices they get even though its wholesale prices. hope that helps. :)
 
its probably IT and you can tell by how many stripes and tail
