from what i read it is 2ft. :) not sure if it goes bigger when they are in a bigger tank.:D

x2 maybe a little bigger. Not as fast growers as normal tsn's from what I've heard when they get past 10" or so mark. That is if you're talking about the 100.00 tig cat and not the 10.00 tsn cat's.

The tsn's of course get 4ft or so but I have a feeling you wanted info on the first.

I've seen one that was 5 feet in my local aquarium.

your talking about a diffrent fish their is no way a tigrinus grows to 5ft

i have seen one at 30inch and when i sold mine yesterday it was close to 24inch

i would say 30inch is the normal size for a captive tigrinus NOT a TSN a tigrinus :D

just so people dont get confused with tigrinus and TSN hear is a picture of the one i sold yesterday as im getting a diffrent aro which is only 10inch and it was to risky to keep a 10inch aro with a 22inch tigrinus as they do get a bit aggressive when they reach 18inch

i just brought a small 12inch tig today which will be safe with the 10inch aro
 
Richard,

Where did you get your aro from? Is HP still selling them? My Tig has a lot straighter stripes than the one you sold. The curved stripes do look good on it though.

the stripes change a lot with size and food this started off with perfect straight stripes but started to go mad at about 13-14inch

i also like the curly stripes the new 12inch tig i picked up today also has straight stripes lets see if they go mad on this one i hope so

30inch i would say is the max size for a tig

new tig i picked up today 12inch:D
