Fruju Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 As title says post pics of your american dats! need some convincing to maybe get one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morcs Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Ill take some pics of mine in a min. You'd love an AT. they arent quite as cute/good looking as a nice INDO, but these guys EAT, and are very outgoing and oh so easily stable! and they only get to 12'' MAX. The one at HFF Albany looks even better than mine, and is super super duper uber stable! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morcs Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Here we go. Managed to get one non-blurry shot before my batteries died. Hes very active. Will go into the cave, then burst out, zoom round the tank and back to the cave. and repeats every few minutes someone is watching him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruju Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 very nice... I like, Love the look of these guys when they get fat and have really sloping head shape, Im definately convinced that have to get one... maybe 2 :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morcs Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Two would be cool, but I only know of one nice one for sale... Mt Roskill have 3 still I think, but they arent half as nice as the one in albany, but I spose theyll stable up in no time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Mystic thats an Indo Tiger, not an American Tiger. AT's have narrower bars that usually don't taper as much as IT's bars, and are more silver than white. Head shape is also different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ya told me a week ago, youd have a 10cm del, and id have one that was too big to sneak out of the tiny gaps in my lids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruju Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 No, just one, keeping the other 2 that are a bit smaller. Wanna swap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan7 Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 No, just one, keeping the other 2 that are a bit smaller. Wanna swap? i aint got any dels, trying to figure out the best way to get a few, keep coming back to buying a few small ones and growing them up...

Fruju Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Only prob with dels is that the supply is not always constant and the price is a bit steep, quite a money gamble, i think it best to accumulate them over a few weeks/months unless your loaded 8) 8) 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not loaded by any means, but would like to have a group of similar sized individuals growing together.. if i got one then couldnt get another for 5 months there would be quite a difference in size, and possibly couldnt be housed together till smaller one grew a bit...

Fruju Posted November 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Apparently my friends mate's uncle is an importer so i might be able to get hook ups (please oh please!! ) hopefully i would be able to get a small group that way i know the stock would be definite. Oh and decided not to sell my big del , I was wondering, he has a weird shaped tail, more rounded than my other ones, kinda as though it was chewed sort of, will the end regrow back, he is kind of oldish? Also one of the smaller dels nose barbels was bitten off mostly, I had the same case with my albino and it grew back, I am assuming the same for the del?

Duncan7 Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Tails will usually grow back, although fairly rapidly so if you think its an older wound id say it would have regenerated by now and possibly wont heal/change any futher. The barbel should heal too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruju Posted November 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 yeah, I guess it was kind of raggedish when i got him but the progress made is not very visible, im thinking it wont grow back to the elongated shape of the other ones but like to remain hopeful :roll: . I have better hopes for the smaller dels barbel tho, should grow back within a few weeks like the albinos one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
