34'' Tigrinus on Aquabid!

[doomiedee]

They definitely get over the planet catfish stated max, it probably just hasn't been updated in a long time. There are several members on here that have had 2ft+ ones and I know of a few that have been brought in by Raul of Neotropical Fauna and ECZS in the past that have been near that size. OSA also had a 2ft+ I think for sale not that long ago

If you read my pervious posts I stated that there are members on here who own 24-26" tigs. Planet catfishes measurements tend to a little smaller then the actual size.

I have personally seen this fish, it is at least 36" and Pat is a reputable seller. You just have to figure out where to put it if you buy it

Thanks. Can you tell us how old is the fish by any chance?

 

[Discus Origins]

Can't help on age, I can tell you it was 24" a year ago.

Scott had a really large tig around 27" seen it in person

So, it should not be old at all, rather young then. Excellent. Do you think it has grown so (unusually?) large and fast because of the hugeness of its enclosure - a 21'x8' vat?
