Its not special besides it looks like a nice ST. Its just young.

so you are saying it will not be white like that forever? that sucks then :irked:
 
i have a tiger that has sort of stayed white at 12inch i gave the small ST to dixon as it was to small for my tank as with 5 x 12inch ST and a 12inch NGT the small ST was getting beat up bad

i was very luck with the ST dixon has a LFS got a batch that were all super stable with deep bodys and perfect stripes and full necklace that was about 1 year ago and i havent seen any since

i brought 4 from that batch and tryed to grow them on but they were to small for what i had planed so i sent 1 that i liked best to a freind of mine as a gigt to grow on but when he gave up fishkeeping i said dixon chould have it as he lives close to the guy i 1st gave it to

i had a very hard time finding large tigers hear in the UK and ended up shipping 3 x 12inch ST from singapore and the shipping was more expencive than the price of the fish and ended up costing close to $2000 and one was dead on arival so i would say big tigers dont travel well and i would ever ship any tiger bigger than 8inch again

when ever i start a new project i keep going until im done :D

i have 1 x 12inch ST that is going soon because it has a forked stripes and im not to fond of forkys but it has great color

the whitish tiger i have is not 100% stable but it is sort of white and i have seen white ST at larger sizes before

 
i still want the pure white tiger
