All my tigers are doing bad I find them really hard to care for I give them everything they need and they are losing weight very fast. I only have a few left now not good! On the other hand my albino margies are thriving!

iv got 3 off of evonne and they are doing great but they are only a few months old, do they start to be a problem when they are adults? Have you tried putting the snails on the food? what temp are you keeping them at? it wasnt that long ago you changed tanks is it?

Some people can keep them some cant, I did really well with mine but alot of people don't.
They need a large tank 2 adults to about 95ltr thats what I worked on and it worked well, had 4 adults and got 7 batches of eggs in the space of about 3 months as most people on here already know, people I know have kept a few species and they have thrived then moved onto tigers and lost them all even though the tank was perfect for them. I always found if they were going off their food they were too cold, warm them up and get some of pauls vacation food it works a treat and banana and mango work well as well.

I have found easier as babies as long as you feed them a varied diet young they don't become fussy. I used to let my tank dry out as well from time to time and they seemed to do better when they were next sprayed but won't work for every one worked best for my W/C tigers

They seem to be doing ok now. My tank is about 27 c and I spray it 1 or 2 times a day depending if I can be bothered. I feed them Leafy greens, Banana, tomatoes and lettuce. I make sure there is a cuttlefish Bone. Iv'e had 1 clutch of eggs and that was last year now. Babys were much easier to keep!!!!!

mine better not act up!! or i wont be happy. i was talking to someone who said that the new young that are from 1st generation captive bred tigers are doing a lot better in captivity, they dont seem to be as needy when they are adults. so i am hoping my 3 keep doing as well as they are.

why do you keep snails if you find them boring? i know they arent that exciting and thrilling, but they arent boring in my opinion, they are very intresting

i already knew lol, but just found it intresting when i heard that the generations of new tigers are adapting to their new circumstances, evolution in action

And then you got bored. I agree with Hopea that they are not boring, they are fascinating little things
