Need help st or ct
- Thread starter johnaro
- Start date
It will become more comfortable with time .. but if you want yellow .. try blue background
It's been around for awhile (not in North America, but in Asia)
It's been on a Chinese website called toubao or something (I lost the link, I have to find it again)
They sell ST (real ST) for 2-3k usd and up, maybe Monster Aquarium got it from there / China. If the shop got the fish for 2-3k + shipping + tax + import fee + profit. The 6k sounds reasonable in my opinion.
post this fish when it hit 15"+, by then everyone will say it's a ST!
It's looks like a girl (no scientific proof), because I can see the ball shape already, and it's a VERY nice fish!
I am sorry johnaro, I didn't mean to highjack your thread, but I just want to prove my point of view
Please tell me, is this a CT too? It got a v tail, round body and it's just under 14"
you can find the fish in the link below...

And 718, please don't take this as a personal attack, because it is not. I just want to share my knowledge and experience to the tiger community. If I offended you, I am sorry.
One valid point you can argue against the pic that I showed was not a true ST can be based on the tail section. The v tail marking of a true ST shouldn't be attach to the soft dorsal fin's black mark.
To this date, it is very controversial and debatable, because large ST like Tk1's is not attached. But if you look at m class's (I forgot his name) recent transaction (the ST that sold to the state), the marking is attached and the fish looks like Johnaro's small tiger.

I dont take offense. Its a good debate for all of us to learn more about datnoids.
A lot of STs dont have the perfect ST classic tail markings so we cant say they are not true STs. I differentiate ST/CT base on overall features such as tail markings, body shape, color, etc...
The ST and CT are collected in differnt areas. I truely believe classic true ST are extinct in the wild now at the particular loc and we still have these CTs left in the wild at different loc. Thats why in my opinion, those true classic STs are all now 15+ inches in people's aquarium. Its my opinion. I read a govt report somehwere few yrs ago that says ST is extint in the wild
