I hope you have a big tank.

Still am bit confused. What i believe its datnioides quadrifasciatus. Only reason why am so concerned is beacause of its water requirement and am not sure it will do fine with brackish water or with fresh water.

Any way thank you very much for your efforts and time that you spend in order to help me.. thanks again

It is listed with 1-1.5% salt ,7-11 teaspoon per 10g [ or about 1 teaspoon per gallon.
All the tank mates listed for him are brackish so I would think that is best.

I am also of the same opinion. It will do bes with the likes of scat puffer mono etc... any way ill try to gather more info regarding this then proceed ahead.. might be i need a totally different setup.

In comparison to other dats silver dats are quite smaller in size.

I dunno much about them. I've seen a couple big ones at the lfs. Just seems like a good candidate for a larger tank is all I'm saying.
