Those are really nice love the patterns. How big are they it were they sold as? Those guys look big and thick too!!

What type of sponge and outlet is that on it? I like that little snorkel thing and would love to try one of those. Did you order online ?

I have notice on biggest, it has a bent tail, but doesn't seem bothered by it.

Great shape and size on them. Look nice and thick. I loved the bars on my tiger carnation turq but they have disappeared since I replaced black gravel with white sand.

I've got a bare bottom with tile, so stripes are disappearing fast

I really love the striated look. I was a bit sad to see them go but love the color and pattern of the strain

The bars going away is a good thing guys. They call them stress bars for a reason and typically the less you see them the more relaxed and happy the fish is

Totally agree Philly but just saying they are a nice look on some patterns although they are not desirable.

Being a newbie I originally thought the tiger in the name referred to the bars until doing more research.

RX those vertical stripes on your turqs are beautiful

I have a tiger carnation which from what I have read just refers to a couple vertical stripes behind the head.

Those are gorgeous fish in shape, size and pattern.
