David Ciaravolo 34 Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Spot on Butters!!!Thats exactly what i thought, looks like a very angry Carp.of course Tiger Fish is the international name, in SA they've been called 'SHARP CARP' since time immemorial.

zim man 0 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 the pics are of a goliath tigerfish, they are found up in the the congo areas of africa. The tiger fish that are found in southern africa are a subspecies that are much smaller with a world record of 15-20kg. The goliath tiger apparently gets to over 100kgs. they are awesome fighters with amazing speed.i must admit that i have never heard the term sharp carp. Must be an afrikaans term. We just called them tigers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pescados 1 Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Hmmm, looking at the tiger fish, we wont have to worry about the snakefish imho. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
