My wood doesnt change my water to a tea color... you need some extra filtration and good wood. Make sure you get barkless wood and spray ti with a hose before using it. also boiling wood helps minimize the coloration of water. you dont necessarily need gravel(VERY DIRTY) to plant the swords... if you want you could just attach plants to the driftwood.

I made some caves out of slate in my tank, with a piece of driftwood, and there is a tube in the tank made out of glass, that was for my Glass knifefish, but my Thinbar took over the glass tube... its unreal seeing him in there.

No bark, not dirty... I really dont know what else to say... i didnt get my wood at a store or online, i went out hiked up and down a river for about 10 miles on a few seperate days, and i saved myself about 150$ and got 3 really nice pieces.
The pieces i got were on a sandy beach on my river, and they were sunbleached white. 2 of the pieces floated for about 2 months,but they eventually sank and look awesome. I just got a new Camera, ill take some pics soon.

I have two in my 90, they are peacful, but the 8"er rules teh roost and the 4"er hides all the time

the reason you are not having any problems is due to the big size diffrence the larger tiger feels no thret fro the smaller one and the smaller one nos theirs no point in messing with the larger one

if you only have 2 tigers that are near the same size you will always have troble

the best way to make a tiger com work with tigers of the same size i buy 5 or more even then you will have 1 alpha who rules the tank

you will always have some agression with a tiger com most times you will just get fin nips and its not normal for 1 tiger to kill another if you dont like the fighting just keep one tiger per tank
