Tiger Update: 6 months later

[Ade]

The usual round of pics for tiger update. I 've always kept 2 tigers for 4 years, then gradually increased numbers to 10 in the last 6 months.
Tried loads of stuff to get them stable, and in the end, the tank set up as pictured, with sub dued lighting, I found was the optimum set up my for my tigers & seemed most comfortable with.

Thanks P. The archers, I got form LFS, labed as "toxotes chatereaus, (Fresh Water)" .
They get on Sweeeet, with the tigers. there about 5.5 inch, help encourage feeding for some shy tigers, occupy top and middle of tank, and are my favourite dither fish. I'm not expert in archers, but think most are brackish. SO I'd avoid those that have been kept in brackish in your LFS, unless, they have been kept in fresh water for a while.
Not sure how fast they grow. but got big mouths and eat alot. if you got a small tiger community, i'd get some small archers to go.
Just look at datnoid 101's tanks. he's got loads of archers.

Very nice tank Ade. All your dat's are healthy and mostly stable. You have some perfect four stripe full necklace/belts yellow IT's. Awesome dither fish too. Thanks for the update.

Its 5ft by 2 by 2 ft. Yes, bigger tank is planned but not for another year. Got enough filtration to cope, and tigers are one of the slowest growing fish around.
in there, the largest IT 's are 9.5 inch. some medium size, 6 to 7 inch, and a small one, 4 inch. I have NTT's, ranging 2 inch to 7 inch.and 5 inch cambeli.
