{"product_id":"sumatra-datnoid","title":"Sumatra Datnoid","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Sumatra Datnoid (Datnioides microlepis), also known as the Indonesian Tiger Fish, is a prized predatory datnoid famous for its bold pattern of black vertical bars set against a golden-yellow body. Unlike some of its brackish relatives, this Indonesian species is a true freshwater datnoid, making it a coveted centerpiece for the monster-fish and predator keeper. Slow, deliberate, and intelligent in its movements, a well-conditioned \"Datnoid\" with crisp, high-contrast barring is one of the most sought-after showpiece fish in the hobby.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epH: 6.5–7.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature: 76–82°F (24–28°C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater Type: Freshwater\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTank Size: 125+ gallons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperament: Semi-aggressive (predatory)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTank Mates: Other large, peaceful-to-robust monster fish (larger cichlids, Arowana, large plecos, other Datnoids); will eat anything small enough to swallow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax Size: ~12–16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiet: Carnivore (frozen and live proteins such as shrimp, krill, silversides, earthworms; many can be weaned onto quality pellets)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes: A predatory but generally reserved fish that appreciates dim lighting, driftwood, and cover to feel secure, which brings out its best color and confidence. Can be shy and slow to feed when first settling in, so patient acclimation and a varied protein diet are key. Coloration and bar contrast can shift with mood, diet, and water quality; stable, pristine conditions and a calm environment help maintain crisp barring. Often kept singly or in odd-numbered groups in very large systems to diffuse aggression. Requires strong filtration to handle its heavy protein diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisclaimer: The fish you receive may not be the exact individual shown.
