Default Tigers and backgrounds

being new to tigers. any old bird can share wat kinda background suits the various type of tigers...

i am using black for my RTG and i bought 2 IT recently. it seems like that the tigers are not able to "shine" in black tank.

I guess it's because they are stress....

ITs is one species of Tigers which is quite hard to have it stable... My little one was HOR HOR for 2 over years become it became stable....

I ever had a tank com of tigers...all HOR HOR in my tank... so got bored with them and sold to a friend of mine... guess what... only after a week it all became KIM KIM... go figure!

And both of our set up uses black back ground....

I guess the tigers haven got use to the environment ba, give them some time to settle down and had to be really patient. My tigers took me 4 months to settle down and become kim kim but still left one more still beri the unstable leh


Btw I use black colour background for my tank.

Tiger's stability is subjective to tank's background, setup, tankmates in comm and water condition....
