What exactly is/can be considered a SUPER TIGER

[neosin]

There as so many conflicting reports on this

Some say they are just normal tigers with specific features like the ones below.

More specifically, I've read that a super tiger has a some whites on it's stripes but not as much as a tibee

Thoughts?

Apparently some germany breeder says this

As shown on the picture above, Supertiger have...

red antennas:

yellow head

yellow tail with the a black band (360 degree)

wide black or magenta tiger stripes

Yes that is a Super Tiger, never heard of white on it though. They are also supposed to be bigger.

"The last group that I keep is the "Super" Tigers. These shrimp have a good amount of variation in their colors. They range tan to reddish body color and their stripes being solid black to having white with the black lines. The largest Super Tiger I have seen is around 1" long. Babies are light in color and resemble Blue Tigers with the exception of the golden eyes. They don't start showing vibrant coloration until they are about ½ grown. The shrimp to the right is a young Super Tiger."

As far as I'm aware a super tiger looks just like the first two pics. I have been hunting for them for a good while now but no luck so far. They are also found like that in the wild and not cross bred to give this appearance. From my research they should not have any white in them, this means they are cross bred and not a true super tiger. The stripes can however be black, blue or red and are found like this in the wild, but the blue is by far the most common.

The apparent super tigers that have available so far here have been F1 crosses from what I have been told. I'm very happy to be corrected of course and maybe even sent a sample

Imke had a good write up on super tigers but she has taken her blog down.

Just my two cents.

Was having this exact discussion with another member a while ago. It was always my understanding that a supertiger was very different. The orange face/tail gives it away as well as the absence of orange eyes, size and thick bands. But supertigers to my understanding do not have white. Also in the photo of the supertiger you posted with the white it doesnt display the 360 degree band around its tail.
