Siam Tigers are 100% extinct in the wild, contact the Faculty of Fisheries, Kasetsat University, Bangkok, or the Dept. of Fisheries like i have and they'll confirm it for you.aidenb;4135083; said:
HOW MUCH WOULD YOU PAY FOR A 3 INCH WIDEBAR???

He's talking about a research facility at Bungborapetch lake in central Thailand. It is correct that they are running a breeding program but it is still experimental and has met with limited success, (this is information for the horses mouth, not a roumor.) I went to the Facultiy of Fisheries to talk about the ST, they called the research facility on my behalf. The information i got from source is 100% extinct in the wild. Most the fish at the research facility have come from private owners, none have been seen in the wild for over 5 years.Delhezi B;4137143; said:
I am waiting to talk with someone for the Dept of Fisheries who is involved with the breeding program of STs so i can find out what " limited success" means. These things take time though and i will report as soon as i get new information.

This lake sounds interesting I would love to hear more about the opperation! But Im finding it hard to believe that there actually breeding ST...IMO I believe more info is nessary to say the sucess even if the word "limited" is in front of it
As for them being 100% extinct I doubt that. I know one was pulled out of the mekong basin not to long ago. And where there's one there's more

The orange base are gone, the one you seen that are being pulled out are yellow base

On what evidence are you finding it "hard to believe" that they have an EXPERIMENTAL breeding program for a native fish that is extinct in the wild that has met with some success? They learnt to breed the giant mekong cat fish there.
The evidence I am using is information from the research facility at Bugborapetch, and the kind people at the Faculty of Fisheries, Kastsetsat Univerisity here in Bangkok.
"Limited" might mean one fish from 100 eggs, or even 1000 eggs. It might mean due to excessive hormone treatment the fish that do hatch are deformed and die soon after. The facts of what "limited" means I do not know yet, but as I wrote, when I do I will post it on here. Please remember these people aren't just going to put a couple of fish in a tank and hope for the best. I would expect to preserve the species every avenue will be explored at a scientific level. I know the research facility is funded by the department of Fisheries, which in turn is funded by the Government.
Secondly what evidence do you have and from where that allows you to "doubt" the Siam tiger being 100% extinct in the wild? Are you basing your doubt on a presumption only?
Im not going to try and persuade you into believing what Im telling you, thats up to you my friend. This discussion has been going on for a long time, I just happened to inadvertently walk in to it, and Im due to the fact I live in SEA and Im naturally interested in the subject, Im in the position to ask the questions in the right places to try and get correct information for myself and others.
Today is the day I found out that they are 100% extinct in the wild. I honestly believe the man classic-chassis and besides, he has a sweet mo-ped as an avatar.
Gerb don't get species mixed up, I'm talking about ST (siam Tiger) in Thailand. There are other types local to SEA.

very interesting
the title of the thread is how much are ST worth well to me i would pay $2,000 for the right fish and it would be worth every cent
if someone asked me how much i would sell mine for i would say NEVER the power of the ST is something else no other fish can come close
i used to be a aro man and that was the main fish in my tank now with aros i can take them or leave them but a big giant ST that you have grown from 2 inch to 20 inch + is something else it makes me every time i look at him
its a dam shame they are all gone
