First, sexing is so easy.. Look at the anul area. and if you see a large bulge..those are the testies..if you see nothing..it is a girl.. Plus there is the shape of body, females are round in middle..like humans, and males are slim built with larger heads..again, like humans..
I keep my male/female pair in 30 long with bed-a-beast soil, several half log hides and very large water bowl. The male likes to soak often, but female rarely goes in it..except when very hot in house.. I tried using pothos plants and they just rooted them up with their digging. If you need a natural look.. go for silk or plastic plants..Or keep plants in pots and change them out often.
tigers do ok with others.. I have always had more then one in same tank and have done so for over 15 years... (10 with same animal).. They WILL compete for food, they WILL eat anything that moves and MIGHT fit into mouth.. Including other tigers. So make sure you have same sized animals. I do not know if males are territorial with other males.. I only keep one male & 2 females in each setup..
hope this helps some..
sorry i wrote a book..i tend to do that
