Siamese Tiger go Black.

[AussieDragon]

Hi all,

I got a question on my 2 new Siamese Tigers. one is at 15cm and the other is 30cm both got 7 bars on the body. I got them in 2 different tank.

The big one is keep together with a 35cm RTG and a 6 Parrots fish ina 6Ft tank and the small one in a 4ft tank with my 20 red Aro.

Both got a very dark body, it so dark that you can't really see the bars on the body. they both eat are healthy and swiming all time.

My question is why my ST colour so dark, unlike the one i saw on the net and in the shop? and how do i make them change to the golden/yellow colour with black bars?:what:

Cheers,

MAYBE YOUR FISH IS IN STRESS CONDITION AND THEY NEED TO BE STABILIZE IN ORDER TO GET THE COLOUR YOU SEE IN THE NET, DATNOIDS USUALY BECOME DARK COLOUR WHEN THEY STRESS:hand::hand::hand::011::011::011:

bro tigerfish may take a long while to stabilize.. and by long i mean long long while lol.. i had mine for 1 year already sometimes the color also abit washed out..

one of the main reasons for this to hapen becoz of the 'stress' factors like wat most bros here mention. stress frm the aro i tink

its your ph level.. tigers ph need around 6.. anyway if your tiger is black even when water conditions are fine.. then u need to wait long long long long long for it to stabilize
