This might be a "newbie" datnoid question lol

[Joshmac8]

I have had this 8-9 inch Indo Datnoid for about 4 months now and it pounds Massivore, Market Shrimp, and Worms everyday


I keep hearing about Stability for these fish, what does that mean? How often it eats?
Mine has never refused food and WILL eat everyday, does this mean its 100% stable?



I appreciate all the info and help you all are able to give! Thanks!

The term "stable"usually pertains to the dat's color or appearance.If it has bold,dark bars on a light background then it is considered to be stable....How does yours look?

 

[Joshmac8]

Id say his bars are dark about 75% of the time then lol, i had no idea thats what it meant! Very interesting, when he displays the dark bars he is more of a dark goldern color rather than a light yellow if that makes sense

 

[krichardson]

Yes it makes sense,post some pictures when you get a chance.
