Someone sold to me as ST and i can only differentiate it as the 3 thick bars.

After putting it in my tank, notice that the bar are not pointed to its belly while i seem most ST pic have.

So i need to be confirmed if i am not cheated as I have seem 3 bars It before.

Thanks for the enlightenment bros. Appreciate it.

This is a high back 3-bar IT to me. One look can see the diff liao. The center bar is too straight to be a ST. What is the size?

After 3 bar IT is out from the market, now when they grow big, newbie will be easily get con. No doubt, 3 bar IT may have some look like ST due to the tiger body shape like this tiger posted here and that why must look at the bar and tail part if hard to diff. Cos from what I know some ST also have IT tail but this tiger is too fake to be call ST Take alook at this ST sale thread:
http://www.arofanatics.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=382772 and this is a ST with IT tail. Take alook at the center bar.

3 bar IT... It is semi-stable, can see that the bars are "translucent: with some dots around the lining of the bars

So another trait of ST (besides tail and center bars), is that if it is semi stable, the bars will NOT turn "translucent"?

Assuming the gold color part of its body turns dark...the black bars will remained solid black?

Newbie here trying to gain knowledge...
