Tigrinus Keepers- advice/tips?

[mshill90]

Sorry to hear about your tig dude. But that was an amazing deal you got on him! I got mine from nj for 300$ and he is only 5". Check out tangled up in cichlids I was very happy dealing with the guy.

I've got one coming in- just don't know when it's gonna be here- they haven't confirmed if their shipment is in yet... bought it from a different vendor though.

How exciting! I am expecting another one too. But have to wait until the vendor gets one in too

He was telling me he can get ones that are 14" for $500...

How much are you getting one for if you don't mind me asking. And at what size?

Just remember what shipping will be on a 14" fish..... Most venders require over night shipping by 10am to gaurentee the fish alive. My shipping was 60$ for 5" tig and it just coming from nj to pa. Don't forget to add water weight to shipping. Takes alot of water to ship a 14" fish. Just keep that in mind. But any way they are great fish. Good luck with them!

Shipping a 14" tig is a risky enterprise.

Riskier then buying a 3" one and growing it out properly.
