Confirm the water type before choosing

Barred Tigerfish is listed as Datnioides polota, a species associated with estuaries and brackish conditions. Gold Tiger Datnoid is Datnioides microlepis, a freshwater species. Use the identified species to plan the aquarium; the shared Datnioides name is not a reason to add salt to every setup.

Plan for the adult predator

The small dispatch sizes do not represent adult size. Arrange suitable adult space, mature filtration and companions too large to swallow before ordering. Check the exact listing for feeding and housing guidance, particularly when introducing a fish to an established collection. Size alone does not establish compatibility.
