Tiger fish, there are many strains, the most common among players is the Indonesian tiger, the Northern Thai tiger, of course, there are the legendary hot Thai tiger, Vietnamese tiger, and the less sought after New Guinea tiger.
In the process of breeding Indonesian tigers, there are very few bodies that do not turn black, due to emotional tension, unstable water quality or natural nocturnal tigers, which creates a lot of uncertainty about the body color of Indonesian tigers.
This is the first Indonesian tiger I have ever had and bought in 2010.
Although this Indonesian tiger has a miscellaneous stripe and does not cover the belly, one of the advantages that I value the most is that it never turns black.
Because of the scarcity and high price of the Thai tiger, many players have gone after the Indonesian tiger, and if it is not blackened, in terms of appearance, it requires a three-striped belly and no essays.
This is the second Indonesian tiger I have personally raised, also purchased in 2010, with miscellaneous veins, but most of the time it is not blackened.
For the Indonesian tiger, after so many years of raising, a little experience, the miscellaneous stripes are good, not wrapped in the belly, in my opinion, the most important thing is that the body color is not blackened, because once the Indonesian tiger is blackened, even if there is no miscellaneous stripe, but with the whole body blackened, there is no ornamental value at all.
The third tiger of the individual, with a three-striped belly and no miscellaneous stripes, will sometimes be black and sometimes revealed.
The same is the third Indonesian tiger, the body color pattern is good, when purchasing in more than 20 selected, because the individual is very small, so the price at that time is also very powerful, only 150 yuan, a big leak.
This three-striped Indonesian tiger is a friend who fostered in my fish tank, and I know how many are carefully selected, because the Indonesian tiger has very few miscellaneous and dark stripes, and the difficulty of selection is also quite high, because the selection is basically black.
The appearance and status of these two Indonesian tigers, I think, are basically more superior.
This big tiger has been raised for more than two years, and later bought two small four-striped Indonesian tigers from friends for 700 yuan, and they get along relatively well.
An Indonesian tiger that has been used to be used is also often black.
For friends who want to start with Indonesian tiger fish, there is nothing wrong with paying attention to the texture and appearance, but the most important thing is that the body color is not black, for how to pick out the tiger whose body color can be relatively bright, I think three points rely on eyesight, seven points rely on luck, and one hole.
