There are plenty of tigrinus cats arround over 122 if you can afford. They arent cheap but a stunning fish, a real focal point for a tank. When i finaly persuaded myself to spend £££'s on a=n 18"er i thought id gone mad but it is worth every penny!
There's a big one (15-20") in china town for $800, i just wanted to see if i could get away with a smaller one for a quarter that price..
tigs are more stable over the size of 12inch
to tell the truth i would buy one below 12inch
$800 is a fair price for on that size it would cost you £350-400 in the UK
my tig is 18-20 and it still always gets its tail streamer chewed off by my rays
the rays will push any size tig around at 1st and the tig wont like it but they get used to it fast

That is probably a different type of fish. it is probably a
Pseudoplatystoma fasciatum tiger shovelnose.

the fish the guys are talking about is Brachyplatystoma tigrinum
