oh while im posting here, picked up another Dat today, got him for dirt cheap since he was jet black (couldnt even ID him, i went by the slope of the forehead and assumed possibly a D. Pulcher). in the store and had been that way for a week or so. as soon as i acclimated him into the tank his bars clarified and he turned out to be a beatiful Y-bar. Can't positively ID him so ill need help when i get a pic up later.
Anyone able to positively ID my new Y-bar? I've given up on Id'ing dats..lol. now i just buy dats for pattern and more so for their personality and character. This guy in particular even though jet black in the store was so interactive as i was observing him for a good 30 mins.
Thanks! that was my assumption, but when it comes to Dat ID i like to have several opinions. Even the LFS couldnt ID him because his bars were concealed as he was pure black.
I think Pulchers also have a kind of stumpy look. the back is higher and the rear end looks kind of short too. Not the best way to ID but it makes sense in my mind!
