U can see at lfs or farms sometimes tigs will vertical in tanks...its just stressed in new environment etc...as long eating shld be fine..it'll go down it own..

tigrinus to me are very problematic to feed, especially in a crowded tank. they are vey slow when it comes to feeding, and will come out to search for food only when they are very stable in the tank.

Agreed...in a comm tank, Tigs are general shy and will not chiong for food...unless there some which is used to it then will hunt and eat...Tigs are mafan to that extend I guess.

U must ask "The Boss Marshy" for his formula coz I think in Sg, he holds the record for the biggest Tigrinus at 27"

I used to have one that I kept for 3yrs and it was 24". I would say yes it was problematic to feed but once u get it feeding, it will recognize once u drop the MP or fish fillet into the water still waiting for the correct time to groom one up again
