Indonesian Datnoid Tiger Fish Datnioides Microlepis

Overview: The Indonesian Datnoid, also known as the Siamese Tiger Fish, is a striking freshwater species admired for its unique patterning and robust body. With bands of black and yellow-gold, this fish is a captivating addition to any large aquarium.

Origin: Native to the fresh and brackish waters of Indonesia and parts of Southeast Asia, these fish are found in a variety of river systems where they prefer environments with plenty of hiding spots.

Feeding: Indonesian Datnoids are carnivorous, requiring a diet rich in protein. They thrive on a variety of foods including live, frozen, or pellet foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, and small fish. Consistent variety is key to their diet.

Tank Mates: Choosing the right tank mates is crucial due to their size and dietary needs. Suitable companions include other large, peaceful fish that do not compete for food. Avoid small fish that could be seen as prey.

Aggression: They exhibit moderate aggression, especially towards smaller fish or those of similar shape and size. It’s best to monitor their interactions in a community tank setting.

Experience Level: Due to their specific care requirements and potential size, Indonesian Datnoids are recommended for intermediate to advanced aquarists.

Water Parameters:

  • Temperature: 75°F – 82°F (24°C – 28°C)
  • pH: 6.5 – 7.5
  • Hardness: 5-12 dGH
  • Water quality should be maintained at high standards with regular changes to ensure their health and wellbeing.

Conclusion: The Indonesian Datnoid is an exotic and beautiful fish that demands attention and care. With the right conditions and companions, it can be the centerpiece of a large freshwater aquarium, offering a glimpse into the aquatic diversity of Southeast Asia.
