Pretty much,like anything else, eye of the beholder. I've met numerous people who love parrot fish~the deformed hybrid ones.Personally I would have no problem with killing all of them and putting them on the extinct list...but hey~ that's just my opinion.
But I do love dats and personally like the fatter striped ones or oddball patterns mostly.

Interesting comment.

Interesting but true

3 bar poor mans ST are nice and I own one myself but they are trying to look like something they are not

Just something about a traditional IT with perfect stripes and full neck band that look great but with a 3 bar poor mans ST it's probably never going to have the great colour or body mass that you get from real ST

It's also all about full neckband for me

Full neck band is fairly easy to find on a IT but a bit harder to find on a ST near impossible to find on a NTT I have owned one after a search of 5 years but my rays killed it NGT have fuzzy strips and you hardly ever see oddball NGT

The neckband for me sort of completes the tiger and makes the whole body shape look different

symmetrical Y bar for me.
next in line is the classic one. I agree with T1 regarding the 3 bar trying to look like something is not. There is nothing like the real deal (ST).

I don't get the "traditional- that's how they should be"deal...It's not like the 3bars are some offshoot hybrid of the many barred types and they definitely are not trying to look like ST's.It's just the way they are, a variant of the species.

OK lets put this another way a 3 bar IT is a oddball IT then

unless you wish to change every bit of info we have on tigers

you get IT with 3 bars on one side and normal IT stripes on the other that would be classed as a oddball IT wouldn't it

when the fisherman go fishing for IT they grade them high grade traditional IT 3 bar IT then the rest are just thrown in the same lower grade stuff with forks bits of bars missing 3 bars on one side traditional IT stripes on the other

this is why we don't see so many oddballs now as they are just thrown back

grade now

3 bar IT
traditional IT

but the odd oddball does slip throw or a shop is just sent loads of oddball as thats all they have left

 

[krichardson]

Yeah,I never saw it that way before...The 3 bar is an oddball of sorts.

 

[xbastix]

classic for me

 

[rgonzales]

whichever one is stable is my favorite
