6-7" NTT Datnoid

⚡ NTT Datnoid (6–7”) – Striking Precision, Rare Tiger from the Deep

Turn your aquarium into a predator showcase with the stunning NTT Datnoid (Datnioides pulcher), also known as the New Guinea Tiger Datnoid. At 6–7 inches, this specimen is at the perfect size for display—showcasing its iconic vertical tiger bars, golden undertones, and unmistakable eye-tracking intelligence.

Unlike its cousins, the NTT boasts a more slender profile, vibrant gold-silver body, and sharper, narrower banding, giving it a refined, high-contrast appearance. Known for its ambush predator behavior and calculated movements, this fish brings elegance, mystery, and ferocity all in one.

🐟 Species Profile:

• Diet: Carnivore – eats shrimp, tilapia strips, bloodworms, and sinking carnivore pellets (can be pellet trained)

🧠 Behavior & Compatibility:

NTT Datnoids are intelligent predators that often track movement outside the tank. They require:

• Dim lighting or blackwater setups to enhance contrast

• Plenty of hiding spots and wood structure

• Stable water quality with strong filtration

Ideal tank mates include:

• Peacock Bass, Arowanas, Bichirs, Knife Fish

• Large catfish (Ripsaw, TSN)

• Avoid fast, aggressive fin-nippers or anything small enough to be eaten

These datnoids thrive solo or in groups of 3+ to spread out aggression (if tank size allows), but are often best kept as centerpiece oddballs in predator displays.
