Are mexican tigers expensive and rare?mad ness;3692242; said:Petenia splendida aka Red Snook
'round here cichlas are called "golden tigers", the Red Snook is called a "mexican tiger"

mad ness;3693409; said:540 ... yea possibly. I'll just throw them in the pond. are tems/pinima known jumpers?
mex. tigers are fairly rare over these parts, especially wild ones. But prob has more to do with demand, they run about 35USD for 5" wild caught.
no, I'm 95% the small guys sold to me as kels are infact orinos. The way they spangle, head shape, the bars, cheek markings etc... but must say they're much nicer than the first batch of orinios in same photos. the 4" kels are 2 in number. you can see them in the other photos, the small fellas.
