Adrienne Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Can someone tell me what sort of fish this is, and what tank size etc it needs. There is one on TM and I was wanting to know more about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharn Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Id say it is most likely a Datnoid, also known as borneo tigers and the likes. Dont have a scientific name off the top of my head tho sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaNs Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Also known as a Tiger Datnoid. I have one and its such a cool fish, they are quite fast swimmers compared to my Oscar. They seam to grow slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.PROPHECY Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 most likely a indo dat d.microlepis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HummingBird Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 According to the name and picture it's a Siamese Tiger, which has different striping. Care requirements are basically the same though. Visit Tigercraze.com for a great resource on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HummingBird Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Lickindip, yeah the Tiger in the Jansens Botany is an Indonesian Tiger (I work there ) dunno if I'd call it small though David, it's pushing 10cm. Small compared to yours, perhaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
