1) when it become stable it will be more define but it wont grow more bar. 2)it depends on indiviual , most bros here would prefer 3 bars it 3)stable is when your IT bars are define and the rest of the body is clear like yellowish colour with no black stress colour. 4)i;m not really sure about this got to ask all the other bros here. 5)same as ans 4 6)fork bar i guess is consider a special bar and it is somehow rare and highly sought after by many of us here.in the end , it is still up to indiviual. hope my noob answer helps you a little |

Preference is up to individual. Buy what you see and like not what others tell you.

see fish dun see price... some fork bars might be priceless to some people but might be worthless to others. But if u thinking of resale value. Clean 3 bars are currently worth more than 4 bars.
Stable meaning the stripes are defined and black and contrasting as compared to its yellow body. sometimes a very unstable IT is as black as a kettle. 30 degree think they still cna ta han. as for bars not so define in LFS, meanin they are unstbale, takes a trained eye and experience to know how many bars are there. if they are 4 bars not to worry. if is 3 barstake some skill to see if they are 3 bars or 3.5bars or has a black patch/mole at its body. If u decide to be sure of, smoetimes its ok for you to ask uncle if its ok to buy a bag of feeders and throw in the tank for them, a meal for them might casue some of them to be stable and allow u to choose the type of bars u looking for. Normally i would go for symmetric bars. 4 ,3 or fork bars are nice IMO. U can do some readings what i have typed can be found in the threads. |

bars will not grow. stable IT is defined, IT in LFS is black as kettle is normal cause its unstable. 1. 30 degs can tahan, but will grow normal/well? 2. what does it mean to be symm? 3. IT have 7 bars? thanks for taking time to answer me. currently i like defined ones, not black as kettle one and i kinda prefer more bars, looks more like tiger. and.. dont like fork bars |

1. 30 degrees shldn't be an issue. My tank is always ard 29-31 degreee varying from weather conditions. It grew pretty well provided u feed them well. 2. For an IT to be symm...both side of the IT bar shld be symmetrical (same). E.g 4 bar on both side not 1 side 3 1 side 4. 3. IT have 7 bars if u include the tail bars in for normal typical 4 bars IT. Lastly to conclude, beauty in the eyes of the beholder. What appears beautiful to me may appear otherwise to u. For me...i'm shallow. Tiger that is stable is beautiful to me . Cheers and regards Hope u get ur dream IT soon. |
