Have no clue. It’s a nice looking 3 bar dat. Who knows. Not sure how distribution is like in the UK. But this reminds me of the dats similar to the Mekong delta (viet Thailand Laos Cambodia)

I have no clue of how it is in UK. I live in sweden and we hardly see any 3bars at all here. Mostly 4bars and asymetrical indos. This one is symetrical

Just as how NTT (Mekong delta) are distributed throughout. Whether it’s in the UK, Sweden , or U.K. Although uncommon and sold elsewhere for much more than Indonesian variants. Wouldn’t be surprised if Mekong dats come in too. They’re usually sought after and come in pretty stable.

Examples of a Mekong/Viet Tiger Dats. Most likely yours Tobiassorensen is a nice 3 bar Borneo. I’d say color has no bearing of where an indo is from. Color shadings are across the board. Go check out the wild caught dat thread. Lots of photo representations.

Here’s my 2 indos when they feel like being stable, lol. Notice the color differences.

Can anyone give a guess on this bad boy? Stable 70/30, mostly when confronted by rays or feeding
