Benny Posted August 20, 2002 Report Share Posted August 20, 2002 did anyone ever buy those really small siamese tigers from wet pets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midas Posted August 20, 2002 Report Share Posted August 20, 2002 Last time I was there they only had one left and they said they had sold the other 2 or 3 that they had. They were getting pretty skinny there for a while, so I'm not sure how they would have survived. The one that they had left was being fattened up with white worm and seemed to be doing quite well.

Bruce Posted November 14, 2002 Report Share Posted November 14, 2002 Hi Richard Saw some S tigers in Auckland last week, Pupuke Aquarium I think it was Wet pets in Palmerston could also have them. If you are after them locally just ask your LFS, they should get them in for you /Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted November 14, 2002 Report Share Posted November 14, 2002 thanks... will do that this weekend... they are awfully expensive though... there were a couple i saw today... the shop would only sell them as a pair... 99.95 each... they were tiny...about 2 inches... and their colour was all faded and scrappy and looked dirty.... another shop i went to.... they were selling sumatran tigers for 110 each... bigger in size...but all sold out... I am just looking for one...to add to my tank... but dont want to pay too much for it... would it be possible to get a small one for about 70?

Bruce Posted November 14, 2002 Report Share Posted November 14, 2002 Hi Richard $100 and up seems to be the price for these guys unfortunately I would suspect the shop would have a hard job selling a "PAIR" if indeed they were at the price they want for them You never know your luck , if you order one from your LFS then you might get it a bit cheaper if they know it will be in and out of their door within days /Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted November 16, 2002 Report Share Posted November 16, 2002 Latin name for Siamese Tiger is likely to be Coius microlepis (formerly Datnioides microlepis), definitely Coius of some sort, possibly C. quadrifasciatus. Though they look cichlidish, they are members of the Perch order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
