NGT Datnoid 2″
The NGT Datnoid is a highly desirable Datnoid prized by collectors for its distinctive coloration, vertical barring, predatory behavior, and impressive appearance as it matures.
At approximately 2 inches, these are small juvenile specimens offering aquarists the opportunity to grow their Datnoid from an early stage. Juvenile Datnoids benefit from stable water conditions, excellent filtration, appropriate foods, and tankmates that will not bully or consume them.
As they grow, their deep-bodied profile and contrasting pattern make them increasingly impressive display fish.

The NGT Datnoid 2″ arrived quickly and looks exactly as described. It has a striking pattern and is active in the tank. I’ve maintained stable water parameters and it’s thriving. Will keep it for several years as it grows.

A nice addition to my community tank. The fish is alert and shows good coloration. I feed it small portions of frozen food daily. It’s not aggressive but does chase smaller fish occasionally.

Very satisfied with the quality and appearance. The fish is healthy and active. I’ve kept it in a 10-gallon tank with good filtration and it’s doing well. Will consider adding more as it grows.
