hey there, you proberly don't want to be feeding them on bloodworm all the time - try getting them onto pellet foods or raw prawns my dats love the stuff yesterday i feed them mussels and they looked so cool trying to eat them.

Bloodworms aren't very nutrital (sp?) so the dats won't grow on them.

Hi, shrimp is good - but you should try getting them on pellet food as it has all the goodness that they need and cheaper to feed them on

Also try thinly slicing ox heart (remove ALL fat), they will love that to - and that puts weight on them fast

2 borneo tigers

Borneo tiger is a bit of a nonsense name. Have a read of the Datnioides Species profile here, there's a couple of good pics to help identify them. More than likely they are D. microlepis or Indonesian Tiger, but lately D. polota or American Tigers seem to be more commonly available. I've only ever seen one true widebar/siamese tiger/D. pulcher here, although many IT's can have similar looking striped but the two bars on the base of the tail give it away.
