That's it, I'm done....... with any other fish but stingrays! :D (for now :naughty:)

I just cleared out a lot of fish to make room in my tank for more rays this spring/summer, and I've decided to limit the tank to rays only. Before I go adding more rays though I want to beef up my filtration some and remove the last non-ray inhabitant.

The tig looks great! Straight nose (not bent), full whiskers, ~6" streamers (would be longer but bichirs nipped at them forever ago when first added to the tank, but they have grown undisturbed since then), clear eyes, and dark stripes. He has been eating market shrimp, tilapia, nightcrawlers, pellets, silversides, and a occasional feeder now and then. He ate pellets immediately after I got him, but honestly I haven't fed pellets in a couple months so I don't know if he'll take to them immediately again, or need time.

I would like to trade him straight up for a new FX5 or a like new FX5 (1-3 months old, all parts, not modified, working!, clean!, media optional). I would much prefer to trade for a filter, but if that seems to go nowhere I will list a price for him later on.

I don't have a ruler/measuring tape handy right now so the size is eyeballed while he was swimming vertically. I also do not have any recent pics. Soooo.... this weekend, I will attempt to measure him, and record and upload some video of him to youtube to update this thread with.

Pick Up in Toledo, OH 43623, or meet within 30 minutes driving distance (I've done my fair share of driving for hours to buy/sell fish lately and it would be nice for someone to come to me for once ;))

:headbang2
 
Here's a quick video of the tigrinus. He hides behind that filter pipe unless its feeding time or night, so I had to bother him a moment to show him off.

VERY nice. If I had my wet/dry under my tank I would trade you one of my fx5s. but the wet/dry is not running and the FX5s are. :(
 
Wish I had one to spare hax!
Bump
 
Good lookin out new2natives!

If someone were to snag that up, I would happily trade them for it. It would be a heck of a deal! They would be getting the tig for less than what I paid for it almost a year ago! If I come across the cash before someone else picks it up, I'll buy it myself if it's still available.

Anyone in the Columbus area interested in this tigrinus would be wise to look into it.... new2natives just found you a ticket to a cheap tig!
