Tilapia Fillet is fairly cheap and readily available fresh and/or frozen in most grocery stores. Some other fish that might be good for dats are pollock, hake and flounder. Those are some fairly inexpensive white fish that aren't too fatty but I haven't tried feeding them to Tigerfish.

Lance fish can be bought from LFS for £10 to £15 per Kilo in the UK. But not all fish shops will sel it. Someone tod me it is quite close to the fish Tigers eat in the wild, although I have no way of knowing. I have no idea what Tigers eat in thewild, but my tigers love it. You can try white bait but it is very oily and can pollute water quick. Lance fish does this also, but not nearly as oily as w.bait.
 
Lance fish are usually sold in frozen flat packs like silversides. Apparently they have very fine bones and are easier to digest.
