African Tiger Scat
Gold tiger scat, African tiger scat, Somalian tiger scat, they all refer to the rarest and hardiest of the scat family. Tiger scats appear in the market every few years and then they are gone – it is extremely difficult to get anything from Somalia except pirates.
The rare tiger scat is tough – these fish thrive in 100 percent fresh water and tolerate a wide pH range. They are very active and need room to swim and grow. Speaking of growing these guys will grow to 20 inches and eat plants, community flake food, lettuce from the kitchen, and veggie cichlid pellets. Tiger scats are big and active but they are VERY PEACEFUL to other fish – they do not harm even the smallest peaceful species. However they will bump each other constantly as they compete for any veggies in the fish tank.
