well im sure u know that very soon u will haft to get a bigger tank :grinyes: but ya i love atf to i got some. anyway if u have a small like ten gallon tank then i would put golfish in it and treat it with stuff like prevent ick and stuff. its like a safe tank. i put all my gold fish in there for a while so i know there good bc they usually have some type of disease :( . so ya i feed mine gold fish or jumbo frozen dried shrimp, i brake it it to peace so they can eat it. but when i feed them this they get a lot more red in ther tails. but gold fish will faten them up faster and get them big so in the morn i feed shrimp and before i go to bed goldfish. oh it takes a while to get them to do this yours just might want to eat one or the other. good luck to ya and post some pics :woot: i love the atf :thumbsup:

i have a poster covering 1/4 of my fish tank on the front. the atfs consantly hides behind it. atf are skiddish but who likes skiddish fishes anyways ? should i remove it or keep it for their sake ?

mine where at first but got over it. maybe take it out and put some thing smaller in there to hide behind so there more temp to come out. how long u had them and how big are they

yeah maybe till i get a bigger tank i should leave it for their comfortability. i had them for about a month now. they are 2.5" - 3". They are truly monsters. i regularlly feed them bloodworms, a good amount of it daily, and like you said feed roseys for the night. krill shrimps when i run out of bloodworms. any fish i can put it in for future reference food ?

u mean like tank mates that will soon become food?

I've seen them in huge tanks with stingrays and peacock bass, but then they killed the peacock bass... :(

Love the mouth on those guys!

Giraffe cat? Black devil? Nothing midwater.

An ATF killed a peacock bass? Had to of been a big ATF or tiny peacock.

I would love to see a video of an ATF mauling a peacock.
