Stable - kim kim and black stripes very prominent.
Semi-stable - backgrd color n black stripes faded.
Unstable - Orh lulu like charcoal.

i'm keeping a young red aro.. thinking of keeping a pair of IT in the same tank.. will they 2 start attacking the aro?
Tigers are aggressive in nature. Preferrably to comm much smaller tigers wif the aro. As such, unlikely the tigers will attack the aro.

i have some bottom dwellers as well, will they also become victims?
Very unlikely, unless the tigers are provocated by the bottom dwellers.

hope the experience bros here can giv some advice..
thanx in advance
