New ST

[fatboy8]

Finally got my first ST dat. Approximately 2.5” housed with 3 clown loaches, and 2 Denison Barbs. Currently feeding a mix of frozen Dauphine, Brine Shrimp, and then live brine shrimp 2-3 times a day. I have to say I’ve never owned a fish that changes colors more then a dat.

That does not look like an ST but more like a NTT? How did it cost,if you don't mind telling?

They were sold as Siamese Tigers. Any chance you could tell me what it is ?

Those are NTT for North Thailand Tigers also known as thinbar dats and that price was actually pretty good compared to other sources for them these days.
True Siamese Tigers stripe patterns are different from thinbars and they go for thousands of dollars for a single fish.I am glad that you did not pay ST money for a fish that is not an ST.

I was afraid he was going to say he paid 2-5k Phew. Thats actually a good deal on a nice young NTT

Congratulations they're sweet dats also.

Agreed.

Yeah no way I’m paying that much without 1000% knowing what they are. But due to the pricing I’m thinking about picking just one more up. The way my tank is now I have a ton of room for fish just don’t know what I want. Forgot to mention he’s kept in a 65 gallon 36”x 18.5” footprint so it should hold him or a pair for awhile and a 90 and eventually 210. I know their growth rate is slow what is the expected growth in one year?

3-4” if I’m correct
