Hi guys im in no hurry but im looking to get a tigrinus soon but im not sure where to look?

I know there are a few on AC and wharf had a 3" one at £145 and wildwoods have supposedly got two at i think about 7" but they want wait for it £435 each :shock:

Does anybody know anywhere else to look?

And are they as hard to look after at baby size as ive read on mfk etc?

I'd say Pier Aquatics - or if you want a larger one, there's always E-bay - larger pimelodids are quite often offered up for sale on e-bay.

Considering where you are - Wharf is just up the road. A 3" Tigrinus would be 7" in no time..... A huge saving - and you will need the extra cash for extra large tank as it grows.....

I had no problem with my tig at that size.
Look at aquarists clasifieds they often com up on there and are much cheaper.
They are cool fish too they don't hide out in the daytime like most cats.

Yes Neil owns Pier, you can also post on the forum at pier one of the blokes there does regular stock lists which does not help keep the bank manager happy !
