Description: Endemic to deep, slow-moving rivers in Indonesia, the 4-Bar Datnoid must be kept in a larger tank with slower flow. Being more predatory, they produce a ton of waste so heavy filtration is a must. A 75-gallon tank will be suitable to start one off in, but we highly recommend having a plan to upgrade the tank size within a year or two to suit its max size of almost 2 feet!
