Went and picked up this little guy today he is only about 3.5" but will soon develop into one sexy fish. Here is a few shots of him.

Acclimatising

In he goes

And his home.

awesome! Be careful not to over feed, it seems a lot of tigs have been dying lately and theres speculation it could be due to overfeeding.

Looking good! I've had good luck feeding tigs sparingly as well. Mine did very well on "just enough" food. He never had a bulged stomach.
