I have 15 of 3-bar datnoids ~3 inch, looking to sell the whole group for $1600.
Reduced $550 for last 9!

Most are perfect clean bars, and so far stable 75% of time, and all are fully stable during feeding time. Their stability is increasing as they get more comfortable since they were recently imported - fully quarantined and medicated for a month and ready to go now. Feeding consists of frozen shrimp, and freeze dried krill, some just starting to take pellet but will need further training.
Was planning on growing them all out but changed some tank plans, seasoned datnoid keepers know how much these 3-bars go for once grown out a big more, much rarer than the common 4-bar indos or thin bar NTT

For those interested, here are some benefits I have observed from keeping large groups of datnoids:
- aggression evenly distributed so no one gets singled out (common when keeping only 2-4 datnoids)
- stability helped since they feel more comfortable seeing more of their own kind around (speculation)
- feeding response is greatly increased, when I grew out only a few it took forever to teach them to eat any kind of food, "monkey see monkey do" once one eats something, they all follow
- very personable due to the confidence in a group, before feeding time they follow me everywhere around the tank waiting for food. Will stare at you forever until you feed them then they'll finally swim away to digest it
