ALL tigers can live in FW not just ST
doesnt mean its right
monos,archers and scats can also live in FW but its not the right water conditions for them
best if you find out what tigers they are 1st before you buy get a picture if you can
as for NGT being a Brackish water fish mmmmm still not sure about that one
1. i have never seen NGT kept in BW
2. NGT dont look like a BW fish AT do
3. When NGT are importeded they are in FW AT are normally BW
4. Until a few years back NGT were the hardest of all tigers to find and i now think the ingo listed saying they are a BW fish is wrong and needes to be looked at again
All my AT are in full fresh water.
Best way to acclimate is to slowly lower the salinity during weekly WC. Just drop it by a few points every week. The slower you acclimate them, the more stable they will be, theoretically.
