I go to one of my favorite LFS (well not local b/c its 30mi away) at least twice a week. More often then not I dont buyt anything but I go there because they are like the only place in the area that accepts trade ins so they tend to have a different stock then ever other LFS so youll never know what you are going to see.

What do I see today?! DATS!!

I have never even seen a dat in person, that is how rare they are here. Ok so I see what Im 90% sure are wide bars, at a good size non the less. Excited but expecting to be crushed when I looked over at the price I nearly fell to the floor at $29.95!!! Needless to say I snatch the bad boys up. I measured the smaller one to be a bit over five and the larger right at 7 inches! :headbang2 :headbang2

Not bad for $60 huh?

More pics once they get into the tank.
BTW in the store their colors were stable.

 
sweeeeeet, never seen a dat in person either
 
Man, if they're widebars you've scored bigtime.
 
I've never seen a wide bar dat in person. I've seen the ones with messy stripes, I think Indonesian tigers?, and the silver ones?
 
I noticed that there are two posters in this thread from Indiana. FYI I bought these in Clarksville, Indiana and the LFS Im talking about is Green Tree Pet Center.

Im not positive on ID as Im not dat expert but looking at the ID guides I feel confidnent that they are!

Edit: This is not the first score Ive had from there. I bought a nice motoro (well turned out to be nice but beat up at the time) for a OTD cost of $37.15!!
 
Wide bar?! :D :D :D

This is the big one. My camera pooped on me before I could get pics of the small but actually the smaller one looks better! Hehe Im so hyped! They went from black to the color you see here in like 3 seconds after hitting the tank!!

 
Nice! They seem to be making there way into the state now. Until last year I had never seen one in Indiana.
 
I believe it's an Indo. But a nice one. :)
