Anyone ever seen Tiger knifes under 2" for sale?

[Eric A]

Just curious.

 

[Hoyo12]

Never. Why do you ask?

 

[Eric A]

Just curious to see what they would look like at that size, and to see if you could grow them up in a community with less aggression from a small size.

What the smallest you have seen them?

 

[Hoyo12]

Around 8" is the smallest I've seen.

I just bought one from aquabid that came in 3-4" He is eating great and starting to grow.It was a zebra knife just like the one in Hoyo12 avatar !

 

[Eric A]

Sweet, do you find aggression a lot less?

 

[King-eL]

They are actually less aggressive when young and the aggression develop as they grow. One of my friend have a bunch of zebra knifefish before at 4-5 inches. When they get up to 7 inches they started to chewed on each other.

I don't think 2" are available as mostly they will come in at 6-8 inches or bigger. They are wild caught and have a high price. The dealer will most likely to grow it to gain more profit, unless you know someone that can get you at that size.

That's not a tiger knife, that's a zebra knife. They don't grow big.

It may be a Zebra and not a Tiger, but it is still an amazing Knife. It seems to be a bit larger than mine, any idea what the length is?
