Sharing My first ever project! Tigers!

[Chinese]

Hello everyone. Shall dedicated my 100th post to sharing of my first ever fish keeping project with fellow fanatics here.

Initially wanted to start off this hobby with keeping arowanas...in the end, was introduced to the tigers and their mysterious characteristics and physical appearance made me so mesmerized with them.

Credits to bro Chocolate in helping me throughout the whole start-up of my hobby from acquiring a tank, to preparing it, to the addition of fishes. Shared many insights with me too.

Sharing my bare tank set-up with 3 ITs inside!

Here it goes!


My tigers when they were still in bro Chocolate's tank. All nice nice and Kim Kim.

Congrats on your new tank. Water bit cloudy? All tigers eating? Centre piece stomach looks like sunken in, maybe you can watch out.

Welcome bro.....yr water looks a bit cloudy so I presume you have just finished feeding them? Remember to remove any uneaten food inside yr tank as I see a piece of uneaten MP....

Ya bro, all tigers eating...but sometimes, they dont whack the mp immediately. The mp will sink and about 10 minutes later, the mp will be gone. Anyway bro, what does sunken stomach represent?

Yup bro, just finished feeding them, my water is much clearer nowadays. Will post an update perhaps tomorrow. I will tend to leave any uneaten mp inside for about 1/2 hour as my tigers sometimes dont whack the food immediately. They whack when no one is looking...hahaha.

Alamak...dont say till like that lah bro... Yup, will take good care of them, especially your 3 bar lah... You are a master also liao...

Wondering why such a big contrast in the IT behaviour.
Wat the difference in yr setup and previous owner ones?
Just curious, so much different to the same fish.

Sunken stomach can mean not eating , appetite no good or need deworming....

Is your tank cycled before you put in the tigers?

IT is like that one mah, unpredictable. Even in a same owner house in different tanks also different results . Nobody can explain why.

You keeping ITs for so long and so many, not like this meh?
