I'm thinking of buying a tank just for my 2 widebar dats, What would be the min size for them? I plan to get them to around 10" than move them into the bigger tank.
 
Only 5" to go :)

What size tank would be good though? I got a 70$ giftcard to petsmart so I'm getting some money off the tank :)
 
I would use a 75 for that. Of course the bigger the better.
 
hmm Anyone else? want to know the smallest I can go without them being to cramped.
 
probly a 55...a 55 setup at petco should be like 120 bucks...since the widebars arent that wide they wouldnt need all that room to turn in...
 
or you could just get a 180 and they could live there the rest of there lives seeing as no one has grown a datnoid in captivity to its full length. 5 inchs is a long time though, 5 years.
