tigrinus/sleep

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Sweet man! When you get that bad boy post some pics up. I couldnt sleep last night either but mine is from drinking a damn energey drink an hour before my usual bed time.
 
heh i couldnt sleep either because i took a 4-5 hour nap when i got home from schooL!! Hahaha I remember how exciting getting fish is. I used to to do the same thing. Did you get it yet?
 
well done tigs are the best :D
 
got any pics of the new tig :D
 
"Darin" is about 7 inches long He has the nicest black and white stripes of any tigrinus i have ever seen I got him for 500. It was worth it because he is a true Merodontotous tigrinus He is in my 150 with my 6 inch leichardti arowana "Sydney" and my 6" clown knife "excalibur". One thing I do want to mention is to keep the water temperature up and the oxygen levels up. My temperature is about 87 degrees. I will be building a wet/dry filter to boost my oxygen levels the sump will primarily be to have water crashing down on bio balls and thus higher oxygen levels. I will also have two fluval 404s on this tank for additonal filteration. Also if you keep this fish, watch your heaters as merodontotus tigrinus can rub up against the heaters. One last thing I dont have any pics because I dont want to stress him/ I dont know how to pics
 
whats the difference with a true Merodontotous tigrinus and a normal one ?
 
:thumbsup: The differance is in the eye placement. I dont think that they should be in the same genus because of the structure. It is true that they are pimelodids but the shouldnt be in the same family as the jurense catfish. I also have another reason for this: like saying merodontotus really fast. BTW howmany other people have M. tigrinus on MFK
