American Tiger?

[slowlyburn]

I have 3 IT and 2NTT right now... Will adding an american tiger be ok? This is the first one i have seen and is 40$ too much for a 3 inch one? They will all be roughly the same size!

I don't have any AT, but from what I have red, they're brackish setup. I may be wrong, someone with better experience may have to chime in..

That was my next question... My lfs has it in full FW. Should I buy it or stay away?

Sorry... The fish is $50 dollars for a 3" specimen. Is this a fair price? This is the only AT I have ever seen.

Forgive my datnoid ignorance, but what is an American Tiger? Aren't Dats south-east asian?

AT are brackish but you can put them in freshwater. As for price it's depending on your location and area. I got my AT 5-6" about $45.

It's Datnoid Polota now. "Quadrifasciatus" is out dated.
