what are the price of small and large tigers i think it works out a lot cheaper to buy them already large

ST 12inch = sg$250-350
ST small = sg$xxx

keeping a small tiger and nurturing them from young to adult size can be very satisfying. imagine you are raising a baby and when he becomes an adult and is independent, u have done ur part as a dad and will be proud of them. im also raising a batch of mini tigers now since one inch and intend to let them grow bigger.

u r right bro, me also enjoy watching them grow... feels satisfying..

i do understand that watching them grow is good but not many people seam to keep them once they are 8-10inch and sell them on

i have just brought back a small ST i had at 3-4inch i grew it to 8-10inch then sold it on it was one of the only fish i have ever wished i never sold

it just seams mad that people do all the hard work for others buy growing the tigers and getting them stable then selling them for somebody else to enjoy them

dont get me wrong i dont mind it good for me that others want to grow tigers on then sell them as it saves me a few years work

if u r changing lots of water and the water is v.cold... is best to add a heater coz if sudden drop of temp it's no good for ur fishes.. if u r changing abit then doesn't really matter..
