I want to get a Datnoid but I am not completely clear on the different types of species and which my tank best suits. It seems like the two main choices are silver datnoids and gold datnoids....what is the difference between the two?? My tank is on the warm side at about 80 degrees Farenheit with a ph of 6.5. This datnoid's tankmates will be an 8 inch silver arowana, 7 inch pleco, and a 5 inch Black Ghost Knife. Anybody have any Datnoid info that may help me make a decision as to what type to get??
What type of Datnoid should I get

i think it's personal preferance and what you can get your hands on. The most common dats here in MD are silvers and indos. my tank is housing 3 aros, 1 gar, 4 clown loaches, a pleco, clown knife, butis butis, 3 indo dats, 1 ngt, 1 st(widebar), and 1 ntt (thinbar). they all get along fine. i think the indos are a little more aggressive than the silvers. shoot, why not get one of each 
Its ur personal preference which tiger u would like to keep??
As far as i know there are 5 types of tiger dats. North Tailand Tiger (NTT, thinbar), ST (Siamese Tiger, Widebar), IT Indonesian Tiger, the NGT(New Guinea Tiger), and the AT (american tiger, silver dat)
Those are the only kind I have ever seen..How much u willing to spend, how big is ur tank?
It's all on u..
There's a stickey about the different types.

you're forgetting indo dats(IT). also very common.
i would suggest a larger dat since they grow pretty slow and you're going to be adding in a tank with a larger arowana. my friend had a bunch of smaller dats in with a larger aro and it picked off almost all the dats.
i have an IT and AT but i really a NGT

He said IT already...
and yea you can pick whatever you think is best suited in your tank...see what type you taste for more than the other 
I would either get IT or ST but others are cool aswellcatfishlover106;2065149; said:He said IT already...
my bad
To be honest ITs are a better chioce much better colouration IMO. Also id get one of a good size say 3-4" as they row slow and id worry your arowana would outgrow and possibley eat it!
