which should i get?
anyone got info on all three?
will they do well with bichirs,payara etc?
im assuming they will.
also,which,to you guys,is the coolest.
i have the opportunity to get all.
but dont have the cash.
niger - about 55USD
giraffe 30USD
irwini - not too sure.
around 100 im guessing.
 
I've always been partial to niger cats myself.
 
yea.
me too.
i love the way they look.
but are they always hiding?
or do they not hide but not move either?
 
Niger's are certainly the current trend here on MFK, and after seeing a few pics I'm ready to jump on the bandwagon as well. But the Irwini might be a better choice as they only reach about 30cm in length, if I remember right.
 
i have a giraffe cat. very peaceful. never has the tank been cleaner. Umm the only thing about it is that there is conflicting info about how big they actually get. Ive been through all my books and all the sites and ive found the max size to be 18, 24, 27, and 36". But they have great personality mine will eat just about everything i throw in the tank, im even teaching him how to eat from the hand.
 
im pretty sure irwini get to like 2 feet.
and nigers get to 3 feet.
hmm...
but ive heard that irwinis grow slow...
not hearing much about giraffes.
 
get either a irwini or a giraffe. or better yet get both. they are both very peaceful too
 
I got both giraffe and irwini with armatus, st, orinos etc and I will vote for giraffe very active and eats anything in the tank.
