Do tigs under 3" have no stripes?

Per title. Asking $150.

From: http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi?fwcatfish&1389681779 - Baby Tigrinus Catfish at 2 1/2 inch. Stripes will develop and start to show more in about a month or so. These guys are feeding on frozen bloodworms and sinking pellets.

No stripes. They will start to develop as they grow. That is a tigrinus cat in the pic.

I bought one of these guys from Jojo(Ichibantropical) directly. I can see the strips showing through and it eats like a beast.

Whoever gets these.... be prepared to have a constant supply of food.. they need to eat a lot when little

The head shape looks right. I didn't know they started out with no stripes. Mine wasn't much bigger and had stripes, so I would guess they will come in soon. You going to get it?

Same here! Although I wish it was every day

I am not. Even if I was, it'd still be a fair game... not that I don't appreciate your courtesy. Thanks.

Anyone, the price is roughly 1.5 times below the norm known to me and the seller appears solid.

Great seller... Always cheaper at that size cause they are much more delicate when young
