tigerfish siam = Datnioides pulcher
Common name(s) Siamese Tigerfish, Wide Bar Dat
Scientific name
Datnioides pulcher
Synonyms
Coius pulcher (not valid, see
discussion)
Size Up to 16" (40cm), but usually smaller in aquaria
Origin Asia: Mekong and Chao Phraya basins
Tank setup A large tank with open swimming space, subdued lighting.
Compatibility Predatory, will eat smaller fish. Peaceful with other large fish. Temperature 22-26oC (71-78oF)
Water chemistry Neutral to slightly alkaline pH (7.0-7.5), medium hard.
Feeding Carnivore: Live foods, but it should be possible to wean the fish onto dead meaty foods such as whitebait, cockles, mussels and prawns. Bloodworm and brine shrimp are suitable for juvenile fish.
Sexing Unknown
Breeding Unknown
Comments A very striking fish which has wide regular bands which can be used to distinguish the fish from
D. microlepis (see
Fishbase ). Specimens from the lower Mekong have a fifth bar, which is absent in those from the Chao Phraya basin. This species appears to be less aggressive towards other tigerfish than
D. microlepis.
tigerfish palembang = Datnioides microlepis
Common name Siamese Tigerfish, Fine-scaled tigerfish
Scientific name
Datnioides microlepis
Synonyms
Coius microlepis (not valid, see
discussion)
Size Up to 18" (45cm), but usually smaller
Origin S.E. Asia, Borneo and Sumatra
Tank setup A large tank with open swimming space, subdued lighting.
Compatibility Predatory, will eat smaller fish. Peaceful with other large fish. Temperature 22-26oC (71-78oF)
Water chemistry Neutral to slightly alkaline pH (7.0-7.5), medium hard.
Feeding A predatory carnivore, but it is not usually difficult to wean the fish onto dead meaty foods such as whitebait, cockles, mussels and prawns. Bloodworm and brine shrimp are also suitable for juvenile fish.
Sexing Unknown
Breeding Unknown
Comments A very striking fish which has a deeper body than other
Datnioides species, with the exception of
D. pulcher. It was originally referred to by the common name of 'Fine-scaled tigerfish' before
D. pulcher and
D. undecimradiatus were described, which share the finer scales (in comparison to
D. quadrafasciatus and
campbelli). These fish require very good water quality to thrive. They seem to be relatively slow growing in the aquarium, and are unlikely to reach the max size quoted for wild specimens.
D. microlepis appears to be more boisterous than the very similar
D. pulcher, and may show persistant aggression towards other tigerfish.
tigerfish papua = Datnioides campbelli
Common name(s) New Guinea Tigerfish, Campbell's Tigerfish
Scientific name
Datnioides campbelli
Synonyms
Coius campbelli (not valid, see
discussion).
Size 18" (45cm) or larger.
Origin Indonesia (Irian Jaya) and Papua New Guinea: brackish river mouths, coastal lagoons and rivers above tidal influence including the Fly, Lorentz and Oriomo rivers. Tank setup A large tank (100 gallons plus for an adult) with open swimming space, subdued lighting.
Compatibility Predatory, will eat smaller fish. Keep with other large non-aggressive fish. Reported to be very aggressive towards others of its own species.
Temperature 23-27oC (73-81oF)
Water chemistry Maintain in brackish conditions or medium hard and alkaline freshwater.
Feeding A predator, but it should be possible to train them to take dead meaty foods such as whitebait, cockles, mussels and prawn/shrimp
Sexing Unknown
Breeding Unknown
Comments This
Couis/Datnioides species is rarely available in the aquatic trade, and is likely to be expensive when encountered. They are easily distinguished from other
Datnioides by the gold base colouration and the indistinct edges to the black bars and irregular black spots. The head region can appear greenish. The body colour can appear very dark at times, particularly in stressed specimens, with the head almost black.
