Everyone like something unique about a fish. Why Do You Love IT Dat so Much? I mean they're not very active fish and not easy to keep. Beside the tiger bar, what is it that you love so much?
I love all dats, and have been fascinated by them from the very beginning of my monster fish keeping journey. I totally disagree on the not very active fish part. I find them very active and very smart like peacock bass in where they come out for feeding times. I agree they are not the easiest fish to keep (seeing that A LOT of these little guys die), but they are very hardy just like any other fish if kept under good conditions.
I personally like how they look, the gold scales from their personality to their fascinating features or image.
Dats are very easy to keep and very active. You just need about 5-6 or more
I have 22 large dats ranging from 8-9" to 16-17". The IT's are about 9" - 14". I dropped 4 lbs of chopped smelt and I kid you not between the dats and 3 aros, some seldom made it to the bottom for the tigrinus, rays and AUL
Like pupumole said the way they look at you and the personality,and if you have a stable one then the colours too.
They are just great fish,simple as that
