I see here in a couple threads that alot of people have posted that dats are slow growers. the three wide bars that I had in the past grew very quickly from 2" to about 6-7" on jumbo sticks and silversides ( about 3-4 months in a 210g oceanic). When you mean slow do you mean slow like clown loaches? Lets here about some growth rates.
Why soes everybody think Dats are slow growers?

thats some serious growth...
what was your water changing schedule at the time?
for three small datnoid in a big tank it will influence the growth. water change, filter, and feeding habbit really is a big deal. my datnoid does not grow that fast like what you said. mine got 2" bigger for more than 1/2 a year. i don't know how you got them that fast but mine were 6" already plus the 2" growth.
20%-30% every week. Had massive filtration on it: a wet dry rated for a 300g w/ 2 iwaki 40 pumps pushing it, a ocean clear with a pleated cartrige and a big bag of carbon changed every other h2o change( the carbon every 2 weeks, the cartrige replaced with a clean one every week, and two merlin sand filters.
I fed ALOT too though, It was to hard to say no, when they all were beggin like they do, so just about every time I walked by the tank I through a half a hand full in
