4 Bar Sumatra Datnoid Tiger Fish (Datnioides microlepis)
The Sumatra Tiger Fish, Datnioides microlepis, has been a standard in the aquarium industry for decades. This tall-bodied fish has a leaf-like silhouette with a sharply slanted forehead. Its coloration is distinctly attractive, with its deep golden body and dark black stripes which appear in a tiger-like pattern. In captivity, it will typically grow to be around 12-15 inches in length, although with optimal conditions, it can reach up to 18 inches in length. The species is relatively slow-growing and has a long lifespan of about 10-15 years when properly cared for.
This beautiful fish is a great addition to any large tank containing relatively non-aggressive, predatory fish that are within the same size range. Some good tank mates include arowanas, rays, mild mannered cichlids, and silver dollars.
