Fish Details, Description and Information Below:

🐟 Silver Datnoid / Silver Tiger Perch (Datnioides polota)

The Silver Datnoid, also known as the Silver Tiger Perch, is the most affordable and least sought-after of all the Datnoid species. While it shares the signature vertical striping that makes Datnoids appealing, it typically lacks the intense coloration, body mass, and bold personality seen in more desirable relatives like the ST or NTT Datnoids.

Due to its lighter silver coloration and more subdued patterning, the Silver Datnoid often gets overlooked by collectors. However, for hobbyists looking for an entry-level Datnoid, this species offers a budget-friendly way to experience the unique behavior and charm of the Datnoid group.

Though it may not command high prices or prestige, it still provides plenty of personality and makes an interesting addition to large predator tanks.
