Tigrinus Catfish! Selling on liveaquaria for $999
I never knew they were that expensive! Anyone got one here? and how much you paid for yours? As well as any pics?
Quite shocked at the price, but not shocked if anyone bought it at that price we all got an obsession!

A different importer has 2" for $90 and 3-4" for $125. Sounds like it'd be better to work with him than with liveaquaria...

Ive only seen them a few times over here, ive seen em at £180 for a 4" fish

Now is the season for the tiny babies, but they're very difficult to get acclimated as far as I know. When I've brought them in in the past, the smaller ones (under 4") were much harder to get eating and much more fragile than those over 5". I can't imagine spending that kind of money on a 2-3" tig, just too much of a gamble personally; I'd rather spend 2-3x as much on a 5-6" tig. 2-3" tigs should be available in Canada for just over $100 right now.

I nearly got one untill the person sold it to someone else at the last minute
It was very cheap £250 and 14-16" but at that size you cant usually get them for less than £400. $750-$800 i think

That was an apsolute steal for the size. I would have snapped that up.

$999 for a 4''-6'' Tig is pretty over priced
