Tigrinus being Captive Breed?

[Arowana718]

I been seeing a fewof baby size Tigrinus in some LFS. The prices of course are very high. Any known farms that bred them that we know of? Maybe the vendors may know.

I am assuming they are only allowing small size baby wild caught ones?

NO... it is the season for little ones. all coming wild from peru

Little ones gotta be alot easier to ship also. Not as big and bulky overall anyway.

Exactly. Give it a few months for the water to drop and you'll see the bigger ones. Who knows how CB would look. Could go either way. Tigrinus are fascinating fish, grow exponentially in value i feel.

Asian breeders have all the luck.


Here comes the part where we figure out that everything we know as fish keepers is a lie and all of our fish are secretly captive bred in Thai research facilities.

I think these fish are pond bred on the river

They are all wild caught when the dry season arrives so they aren't so wide spred in the rivers. Thats what a dealer told me that ships them all over the US as they come in from S.A.
