ok so i found a tiger shovelnose first one i have seen personaly in iowa and the price said that it was $400 and i was tryen to talk the lady down to $200 cause i had to buy anotther tank that day is 400 a bad price if not ill probly buy it with tax return it is at 10 inches now they also had a reg shovel nose for $40 bucks if i dicide to get it what are the compatible with can i put them both in the same tank thank you for info in advance.:popcorn:
 
Do you mean tigrinus catfish? If its a regular shovelnose $400 sounds out of this world! And even a 10" Tig shouldnt cost $400 I would say get the $40 one and grow it out!
 
I don't know if tsn are rarer in the states or what but $400 seems crazy high for just a 10 incher!

I bought mine for £17 at 4", that's probably about $30 these days. $400 is over £200 and at his current 18" i'd be amazed if he was worth even £100. They're just not a rare fish here.
 
30-40max for a tsn. If it's a tigrinus cat that's a different story. Was the catfish black and white like a zebra or was it more brown tones with strips?
 
thats what i figured the shop that has it was about 75 miles away and even if i got it i wasnt gona risk the drive with a 400 dollar fish now that i know i will just order one from one of my lfs they have way better prices than the other store anyway
 
400 for a tiger shovel nose is way too high .
 
now that i think of it it ws the tigrinus cat so was it a good price the shvels were $50 if it is i will def buy it with taxes
