They are Tigrinum

I may be stating the obvious, but you do realise the size these are going to get? Why buy 4??

I see it as an investment, they were incredibly low priced because they didn´t knew what they were selling. Two of them are already booked for a friend, and I´m planning to keep one for myself!

IMO unfortunately they are fasciatum (Tiger shovelnose), not tigrinum, and are more likely to be a fiscal liability than an asset.
