Tiger fish has always been popular for its bright body color and contrasting patterns, and is one of the most popular ornamental fish. So which tiger fish are the most charming? Today, I will introduce you to the six most beautiful tiger fish species, including Thai tiger fish, silver tiger fish, Sumatran tiger fish, New Guinea tiger fish, Indonesian tiger fish and Northern Thai tiger fish. Let's get to know them together.
1. Thai tiger fish
The first one is undoubtedly the Thai tiger fish. Among all kinds of tiger fish, the Thai tiger fish is the most expensive. The biggest difference is that its state is more stable than other tiger fish, with golden color, extremely clear patterns, not easy to fade, and always maintains a bright state. Thai tiger fish are usually divided into three stripes and four stripes, among which three stripes are the main ones, and according to different living environments, they are also divided into red skin and yellow skin. Since purebred Thai tiger fish are rare in the market, they are very valuable once they appear, so they are regarded as a symbol of wealth.
2. Silver Tiger Fish
Silver tiger fish, also known as Polo's pine snapper, is different from other tiger fish in that its unique silver stripes replace the traditional yellow stripes, which flash under the light and emit bright fluorescence, making it more eye-catching. This kind of tiger fish is relatively rare in the market, and its body is relatively slender, which is different from other tiger fish varieties. When buying, please note that silver tiger fish is more sensitive to water quality. If there is a problem with the water quality, the color of the fish body may change. Therefore, observing the body color of the silver tiger fish can reflect its health status. Although silver tiger fish will also turn black, it will not be as extreme as the Indonesian tiger.
3. Sumatran Tigerfish
The production of Sumatran tigerfish is very rare. This tigerfish is short and tall, with bright yellow and black color on its body, mainly showing ink black and lemon yellow color matching. Its pattern is clear and neat, and it was gradually discovered by people after being captured. Whether it is day or night, the Sumatran tigerfish maintains its eye-catching color, and it is a diurnal tigerfish with bold behavior. It likes to cruise in the aquarium. Compared with the Indonesian tigerfish, it is less likely to make trouble.
4. New Guinea Tigerfish
The New Guinea tigerfish, also known as Campbell's trout, is a kind of tigerfish that is favored by fish lovers. This tiger fish is distributed in coastal waters of Asia, Oceania, New Guinea and Australia. In recent years, the New Guinea tiger fish has attracted much attention as a popular tiger fish subspecies. The color transition of its body stripes is not as clear as that of other tiger fish. It may appear as black spots, and there are four black stripes on the sides of the fish body, and there are worm patterns on the edges of these black stripes. Compared with other tiger fish, the New Guinea tiger fish is smaller in size, more expensive, and has a variable body color, tending to be golden or green. Some fish lovers are fascinated by it, but some people think that its patterns are complicated and messy, and not beautiful enough.
5. Indonesian tiger fish
Indonesian tiger fish, also known as small-scaled pine snapper, is mainly distributed in the Chao Phraya River Basin and is one of the more common tiger fish on the market. Compared with Thai tiger fish, Indonesian tiger fish is smaller in size, more slender, and has finer black vertical stripes. The price is much lower than that of Thai tiger fish. This is mainly because Indonesian tiger fish are more timid and easily frightened, and the lines are not as clear as those of Thai tiger fish, so the price is more affordable. Indonesian tiger fish are nocturnal animals, usually coming out to forage at night, and tend to hide in corners to avoid light during the day. For novice fish keepers, raising Indonesian tiger fish is not such a simple task.
6. Northern Thai Tiger Fish
Northern Thai Tiger Fish, also known as Bangkok Pseudo-Panther, is only one word apart, but there is a world of difference in price. Compared with the price of tens of thousands of Thai tiger fish, Northern Thai Tiger Fish is relatively affordable and can be obtained for only a few hundred yuan. Northern Thai Tiger Fish is very similar to Thai Tiger Fish in shape and color, but it is smaller in size and has more delicate black vertical lines on its body. The Thai tiger fish is gentle in nature and is suitable for mixed breeding with ornamental fish such as dragon fish, map fish, knife fish, parrot fish, and stingray. However, due to its predatory nature, it is not recommended to be mixed with small fish unless you are willing to bear the possible losses.
