maybe thats why some of our tigers are not stable all the time the water is not dirty enought 
i read some were in this thread that tigers come from fast flowing water if thats the case then it will be fairly clean wont it
i also agree that you should try your hormone treatment on IT first we dont want you killing any tigers but best not risk ODing with hormones on fish that are in short surply like ST
if you have good results with IT chances are you will get the same results with ST
lets face it tiger breeding of any kind is the thing hear if you breed IT and document it then it will be helpful to people who already have enought large ST to breed them on a large scale

Doesn't matter!..that river are dirty period.
I may be wrong but I thought Mekong and Cho Phraya (or however you spell it) were slow moving rivers.
BTW T1, you really wont kill them, the potential is to harm their reproductive systems if you inject them too early.
I will test my 12" NTT first though and like I said, for ****s and giggles, we will try to mix what ever comes out of the NTT with whats ever comes out of the STs! hehe
BUT there will be no breeding on a large scale it would turn a $400 fish into a $20 fish and no one in their right mind would invest the kind of money needed to do this on large scale!

When I first started selling fish I was buying ST's for $10, and had a hard time selling 4" ST's for $40
Boy, have times changed

That's what I was wondering.. In JP books from feb 2006 there is a dealer selling very small 1" or so ST's.. Was trying to figure out if they were brought in wild. Or someone even on a small scale over there was breeding them.
The books are good. Love them actually. As far as the dat book. that certain part will be translated soon. Some of the pics in that part are confusing like talking about breeding dats but show a tank with asian arow, ST's, and like one Indo. Which I would think would screw up the breeding process. From what I've seen thus far I kinda think someone in the far east is breeding them or getting damn close as it even shows special small air powered filters to use(I'm guessing as not to suck up fry/eggs)

JD are correct in some part...right where the river meet with Cambodia and Vietname is fast movement fast water. Some part are slow as well.
But where the ST from are fast movement part.
As far as I know these fish have never been bred in captivity. People have setup and invested some serious money to breed ST in asia and none have done it. If it has happened it was been kept very secret and until I see pictures and proof just don't believe it. There is ia huge demand for these fish even is the US market.
