Aquarium Recommendation

Large Indonesian Tiger Datnoids require a spacious aquarium with excellent filtration and substantial swimming space.

Provide a combination of open swimming areas, driftwood, rocks, and shaded areas.

Because this specimen is already approximately 30 cm / 11.8 in, adequate aquarium volume, strong biological filtration, and stable water quality are especially important.

pH: Approximately 6.5–7.5

Stable water conditions and consistent maintenance are essential for larger specimens.

Feeding

Adult and subadult Indonesian Tiger Datnoids should receive a varied protein-rich diet including:

• Shrimp
• Krill
• Frozen fish-based foods
• High-quality carnivore pellets
• Other appropriately sized prepared foods

Avoid overfeeding and maintain good water quality after heavy feeding.

Tank Mates

Tank mates must be large enough not to be considered prey and should be robust enough to coexist with a large predatory fish.

Avoid small fish, delicate species, or animals that can be swallowed.

Coloration & Acclimation

Indonesian Tiger Datnoids may temporarily darken, lose contrast, or display less stable coloration due to shipping, stress, lighting, environmental changes, or acclimation.

This is normal behavior. The fish may appear lighter or darker than it does in the listing photos depending on its environment and condition at the time.
