well here we go again for try number 3.
i have a LFS that owes me some money £50 ($80) and i sold all my stuff today (tanks,stands and equiptment) so i went to the lfs to order me a tigrinus from a wholesaler who has 1 left apparently.
hopefully i get this one after my last 2 attempts i need to get the main fish for my tank (tig,aro and dat) so i can settle.
i will only need large geo's after that and i have been looking for a year for those.
wish me luck i may have it at the weekend.

good luck with the hunt for the perfect tank :D

as for the geos they wont last lang once the tig starts to get big mine is now trying to eat 8inch geos and that full size for most geos so they will end up as feeders in the end
 
no i had to put the rest of the money toward it it is costing £150 or $250 (aprox on exchange rates).
i sold £250 worth of fish stuff today so i aint done spending just yet.

i will still need a scavenger then maybe a fei feng, i wanted geos as the keep my sand clean and look nice but i will see and think about it.

your right geos are great cleaners always turning over the sand/gravel but they are very slow growing so you will need to find ones that are 8inch when you get them and the only ones that get to that sort of size easy are geo.jurapari

if you would have let me know then you were picking up the aro you could have taken mine as i was looking to sell them and make my shoal of uaru.f up to 15 as they are great cleaners and eat aro crap as soon as it comes out of his ass
 
I've seen tigs nearly that cheap when the season for them comes in, but on average you're gonna pay between $100-$200 for a 4-6 incher.
 
tigrinus, i must have for catfish fans!
