Thanks. Here are a few more pictures. They don't really do the fish justice. I took the pictures with my phone, and the last 2 are with a gopro underwater, but I still have to figure out how to use the gopro better.

Thank you for sharing, those are eye-catching tigers. Why are they so pale?
You don't have to answer but are you a private hobbyist or a commercial company?

id say there light due to the cement/sand colored bottom... very rarely do we see a true tigrinum either...i love it/them lol
. check out that distinctly different head/bill shape.
very nice specimen o.p.! Is this a potential breeding group or offspring from ur work? any for sale lol?
You think even the one in the OP with almost white base color is such because of the light colored bottom too?id say there light due to the cement/sand colored bottom... very rarely do we see a true tigrinum either...i love it/them lol
Are they all P. tigrinum to your eye? Looking up to you to learn. I can see the head shape is distinct when they are photographed straight from the top.
yup...and they look just like my suspected tigrinum, theres one in the batch that looks a bit odd/deformed but i still suspect tigrinum aswell, nothin i havent seen before with "man made/bred cats"...im sure theres some in the wild also.... i ran an intex pool without an additional epdm liner for a cple weeks once...(white base) and all 3 specie of mine lightened up the same way.
This page, second photo from the top, the cat in the top of the picture - is that the one with a duck-bill tendency / deformity?
correct...just a tad bit goofy lookin... ive seen/owned alooot of degrees of this same look from complete skull portrustions to bottom jaw issues (extreme overbite), and what i call "camel joe" face lol... evey one i owned ate/grew seemingly fine. the odd bone structures grew with the fish. pretty amazing. i even had a few with missing gill plates that thrived. i intentionally collected deformed cats for a long time
