I'm going to look at a dat tomorrow and i'm going in blind, no pics, no info, nothing (friend of a friend).i don't know too much about how much the different species are worth. any help so i don't get screwed if i decide to get this guy? thanks.
 
not sure where you from but here in MA east cost area i have seen the following price at LFS

IT ( Indo Tiger)

2-4" $35-$40

NTT (Norther Thailand Tiger) or Thin bar
2-4" $40-$45
7" $90

you wont see and wide bar ST..

NGT 2-4" $100 plus.

AT american Tiger 5" about $50

this is just at my area LFS would go for. it would give you some ideas how much it cost. im sure it less.
 
alright it's a 4" AT. $30 sound fair? do AT's have to be full brackish or will they be ok with the little bit of salt i add to all my tanks?
 
that is fair price...they dont need full brackish water..a little bit of salt is ok. i had AT as freshwater before and they do fine.
 
cool might go pick him up today :D. will be my first dat
 
AT maybe ok in FW short term but who knows long term

i wont buy one for a FW tank they look like they are a brackish water fish but IT,ST,NTT and even NGT look like a FW fish

just my opinion
 
I'll give it a try, if it seems stressed or unstable I'll shuffle some things around.
