Lol Steve your gonna need a bigger tank with all these badass fish ;) i say don't risk these expensive fish.

Hi guys im getting a new tank soon so dont think the space is a problem,but as bigj said,a carpet of tigs would look fantastic!!

Its not something il be rushing into but it is something im considering:drool::drool:

I have two 10" they fought for the first 2 months but now they seem completely fine. They've been together for almost a year now. I'm also looking to add another to the bunch.

Wow,I have a six incher but I would like to add a Juruense cat.
 
go for it dude, i have a bunch of expensive fish in my tank and some people dont like the idea but they're doing great. 1 gatf, 1 jardini, 11 discus and a dat. im growing out a tig to put in there to. just give it whirl, you wont find out if it works until you try it
 
i had 4 13inch tigs in a 300 with no problems and then i sold one and all hell broke loose,one almost got killed.stragely enough i took the beatup one out and the other 2 get along fine unless they cross paths during feeding time.so i think it can be done,just depends on the fish.if you do try multiple tigs i suggest a big tank with plenty on hiding spots.....and a backup tank just in case.

ive already got expensive fish in my tank,its not the money,its the fish im worried about but you guys seem to be doing it so il dig a bit deeper,also buster im glad your set up is working but i wouldnt dare put our discus in with my rtg or big IT,they wouldnt last two minutes,my rtg so far although not recently has killed a 13" gibbiceps and 5 7" geo daemons and a 6"IT and a17" gar,bless him,lol

i just dont want the tigs fighting because although the above happened in the past the tig isnt being bothered,he actually basshes my big polys out the way to get food lol.
Il wait till i get my new tank and i will go for it i think.

I was actually thinking about 4 but id have to grow at least 2 of them up but like i said il wait till i get my new 400 before i get them unless i see a bargain.lol
