i had 6 for thes fish 2 years ago and was trying to breed them. turns out that was harder to do then expected. never happend. but they are a beautiful fish. and i was wandering if any one else has ever kept them.

I've kept thin bar dats before Datnoides undecimradiatus.

They are very cool fish, highly predatory.

I kept them with my bichirs, angelfish, giant gouramis, etc... never had a problem.

Great looking fish! I do know that they get huge!

I used to have a tiger datnoid many years age. Awesome fish. They can swallow fish much larger than you would expect.

i loved keeping them. but never could get them to bread

I used to have a silver datnoid, i had him from almost 2 years but he got sick and died..., great fish and fun to watch eating, my concern is he never got any bigger than 4 inches...
