So now the At is in solitary and not loving it! The new Thin Bars are enjoying there first real freedom since being netted Saturday AM. ( if you considor a tank freedom!) This arrangement will need to last until my third tank is cycled.
In my experience AT's don't grow as fast as Indo's, so in the future you might be able to put them back together without to much trouble. Get those Indo's eating pellets as soon as possible if you want them to put on size quickly. Nothing beats pellets to get dats growing into monster.
These guys are on krill and blood worms right now....The two new guys are stable now. I am almost positive one is a Thin Bar and the other AT. Positive about the thin Bar.....They are too quick for me to get a pic in the planted tank! i will get shots eventually!
They both look like indo's to me but better pics would help. When my NTT's are stressed they completely loose their bars.
They look completely different...you may be right about one being an Indo though...Now that i look more I am thinking one AT and one IT...RedDwarf;4803023;4803023 said:
Now if this was me
I would sell the AT or return it to the shop and exchange it for another one of the tigers you already have
AT are very comen in the UK and easy to finds you wouldn't have any problems finding another one at a later date
Then concentrate on the new tigers you just got and maybe add a few more to bring the group up to 5
This will give the 5 time to settle in and grow a bit then if you still think you want a AT you can go and get one
One thing I will say is if you think you are ever going to have a peaceful tank with a group of tigers think again as you will always have fight and chasing going on that's just the way it is
I just wouldn't bother with a AT the other tigers in the family are FW and look so much better than the AT which are a BW fish

Agreed. Even once you have the tank cycled, you've already lost a AT due to having 2. You will most likely have issues with 2 ITs and might lose one. Best of luck
