CT = Controversial Tiger? I can agree with this. I'm just saying this is a Pulcher, yes an odd pattern but still a Pulcher. To me saying CT is kind of a cop out, like "I don't know what it is" so call it a CT. IMO a CT is some variant of IT. The Widebar, ST, Pulcher, what ever you want to call it, is a completely different species.
I have a few drawings like the one attached but I'm no expert. I have 8 IT's and I never owned a ST. To me the OPs fish looks more ST-ish :nilly:

for me CT is not contaversial tiger its cambodian tiger due to its fished location

Ahhhhh cool. So its still a Pulcher then? Just from Cambodia? Sounds good to me.

yes

CT seam to have a brigher yellow colour but not as clean body stripes they can still be perfect 3 bars but the edges are more jagged and the tail stripes are slightly different but still pulcher

Sounds logical if in fact of its fished locality. Finally, something that makes more sense rather than just saying "Controversial", i.e. an "I'm not sure" Tiger

Not sure where your seeing a banana yellow color. To me it seems more of a gold to dark gold base color
Most banana yellow dats seem to have real dark black bars and he does not. Could still be a CT as you state
I think it's possible for it to be a very thick well fed unusual looking IT. He's def a "controversial dat" and because of this it prob isn't smart to pay $2200 for him imho

For me too...I always thought that the "contraversial tiger"designation was for the different types of indos..

I have not seen many dats with the perfect tailstripe pattern of the ST in that picture.One of my ST's has it but it is kind of broken up on one side,so does that disqualify it from being a ST lol?...and are all others that don't have that pattern not ST?..I do favor that look though,where it appears that almost the whole tail is almost painted black but I wouldn't fork over twenty two hundred bucks for it..
