The problem is you're using common names..."ST". It's impossible to confirm. One thing's for sure though, it's said that there are NO MORE D. Pulcher in the Chao Praya/Thailand. These others guys come from Cambodia. Like krichardson mentioned, there's really no way of knowing if all these new-age STs are truly D. Pulcher.

To me they do look like the classic "ST" Pulcher from the Chao Praya. Many of the ones I've seen recently, do not. Whether they are actually ITs or a geographic variant of D. Pulcher, I have no idea, and neither do any other self-proclaimed datnoid "expert".

For sure they are not cb pulcher, the only way to tell if they are true pulcher or 3 bar it would be genetic testing which has been mentioned in almost all of these threads

Those are some very nice looking tiger fish. I would pay good money for one if available here in the States. Instead of asking are these ST's, We should be asking the suppliers - where are they catching them? These all have the ST tail, but some, the middle bar looks like IT. Regardless, I would buy one if available.

While it's a common name, does ST is more specific, since it stands for Siamese Tiger? Don't you know at one time, IT was classified as D. pulcher?

Yes, those are ST or D. pulcher in my eyes.

Yeah but what is Siamese Tiger? It's just a common name that causes confusion, along with CT, VT, etc.

They def have to be exported from the nearest country to Thailand where they not banned for export.....naturally right?
How to tell they ST? I would say, by gut-feeling and looking at it. Well, it is up to individuals....if you dun believe they are....then you will never own one.
Japs did n paid premium for them
