Here is a pic of my 13" Goliath

Goliath took the first shot from the Goliath/Armatus combo
The Armatus has aRed circle behind the gill plate. It looks better in person. It is a red bite and a lil more back you can make out the teeth marks from the Goliath. Luckly it was not bad

I dont think the Armatus liked it cause I keep seeing him rush and headbutt the Goliath. For the first time I have seen him snap (luckly he missed every time) at the Goliath a few times. Looks like this could be the begining to a Fatal War:cry:.

Only prob is who to keep before the other becomes a casualty???
I just hope im over thinking and making the situation bigger than it is in the tank:D

I have had him for about a yr now. I think I got him around 10-11" (something like that). He might be bigger than 13"??

My guys teeth seem to be coming back (front teeth) and all of his teeth on his left side are brand new. they fell out and grew back and look bigger:naughty:. As for the front of his teeth... when I first got him I had no where to put him but in a 50gl and he damn near nocked off his entire snout..... teeth and all. Id say he only had about 3-4 teeth from the back of his mouth left. I thought I was ganna loose him. It was one of those things that a hella good deal came up and I just started remodeling my entire house. So me and the fam had to pack up and put everything in storage. The Goliath was going to go to a LFS in the mean time but it didnt happn for what ever reason.... So here he is with all his teeth on both sides and just missing the front view teeth:naughty:.

Id definately keep the GATF, nice update also.

Yeah, Im pretty sure im ganna keep the GATF as I know I had doubts before but it is a slow growing 13" G A T F !:screwy: Dont know what I was thinking before:D. I go through my ups and downs but since adding the ever so wanting Armatus, I think im still in Love with the ATF:naughty:.

How much do Vitt ATF cost??? What's the reasonable price for one?

Whats the difference between Vitt and Goliath??? in term of size

If Vitt can grow up to 2-3 ft, so a Goliath can go up to like 5ft?

Here is mine in a 75G :D

there are a few species available.
brevis,forskalii,vittatus,goliath and tanzaniae i think.
FATF would be forskalii.
but IMO its a vittatus.

Your good bro. As long as you dont have just one silver fish with them. If you keep your tank balanced with a few tankmates, it kind of distracts them but once you start to add or take out fish they might get mad and then youll end up with just VATFs (maybe just one)


And if im not mistaken Brevis and Forskolii are the same fish (forget where I read it at:D)

Your fish looks like Vittatus. Brevis has a moresharp nose and narrower

aggressive?
with silvery fish,yes,sometimes stuff can happen....
but with other fish,nothing serious usually happens.
all of the ATFs ive owned would chase tankmates,especially silver ones,just to show whose boss.
but they dont do anything except chase even with the kind of dentistry they have.
and no,55g wont be any good for them.
might make a good growout if you get a small one though.
they grow SLOW.

i can tell the difference. in my situation however, the fish was not placed in a tank, but in a bag. hence i could not get a good look at it's jaws. the fish was also washed out, a bad move on my part that i failed to realise so. however this meant that i did not see the distinctive vittatus stripes. when i asked the lfs which sp it was, they showed me the order sheet provided by our country's main import/exporters. the sheet actually stated "Hydrocynus Goliath". i decided to trust the lfs and qian hu(the import/exporters), as they had the species name on the list etc, and the price was higher than labled vittatus sold by the lfs a couple of weeks ago. needless to say i am very disappointed with them, and will not be trusting them or doing business with them anytime soon.

i can tell the difference. in my situation however, the fish was not placed in a tank, but in a bag. hence i could not get a good look at it's jaws. the fish was also washed out, a bad move on my part that i failed to realise so. however this meant that i did not see the distinctive vittatus stripes. when i asked the lfs which sp it was, they showed me the order sheet provided by our country's main import/exporters. the sheet actually stated "Hydrocynus Goliath". i decided to trust the lfs and qian hu(the import/exporters), as they had the species name on the list etc, and the price was higher than labled vittatus sold by the lfs a couple of weeks ago. needless to say i am very disappointed with them, and will not be trusting them or doing business with them anytime soon.

Well this happen long time ago. That why at 1 time VATF price shot up as high as $170 then alot know it was VATF so the price went down again. Well I normally choose and look properly at the fish cos even if GATF I want it to have no defect. Eg my dorado some at the LFS got less colour and a spot. So I choose the nicer ones.

i understand, there were only 2 fish avail, and assuming that they were goliaths i did indeed look carefully and chose the one i prefered. however due to the reasons i stated above, i failed to realise they were vatf--

dithers are really just fish to spread aggression...anything silvery and fast should work for you.
tinfoil barbs,silver dollars,more ATF or dorado,bala sharks etc.

2h enough?? I remember once i wanted to buy that fish but i on hold and travel a few more LFS to see if there is a perfect pc. Eg like yesterday night. 1st stop Yule, then ABC market there got 3 FS one selling RTC nice looking. then take bus to c328 so it 5 LFS a day haha...last time driving the poison can cover just about anywhere I and my friend can think of going. Visiting LFS is enjoyable even not buying anything cos overseas.

My VATF seem very stable since I bought it home. From the bag carry around and to other LFS...dun seem to be stress or anything. Finally after almost 2days stay in the pill I have move it to my 3ft tank. And will be getting some other fish so that dorado will not fight with it.

Any tankmate that nice to keep??

Some option in mind
- Congo tetra
- Tin foil barb
- silver dollar

Can I mix with a 3cm tetra??Later become feeder...

You have that all wrong. ;) Your into PBass ect and ATF will not compete for food with them. I will take you'rs and give it a very nice home with mine in the near future. You and I both know he's ready to come HOME. So i'm avail Sat-Sun for arrival. thanks! And the pic's would be sweet. So i know what to expect. :D

I think i've had him around a year or close? He was in the 8-10'' range at purchase. Mines really starting to get thick. And a little more aggressive, Than he's been in the past mostly around feeding time. lol :naughty:

I got to get some new pics of mine he's doing great. He's up from 4" to around 6" allready. Not growing fast but growing none the least. soon he may get some dosicle tankmates to get him used to that.

Ohh yeahh, she was maybe 4.75" at the time. Today i'de say she's 7" and growing. I'll get a current pic up sometime soon. I say it's a she do to head sz. in relation to the last third of it's body hight & fullness, combined with anal fin structure and lengh, and coloration. I like to belive that I have a pretty well trained eye. It may not be science, but i'm usually over 85% accuracy, sexing a number of characin sp. It's just my own sex-ing system.... so I'm not looking to debate anyone.

Thanks. I have had it about 1.5 years now, I got it at about 4"-5" now about 10" slow growing initially but since feeding raw trout he seems to growing a little faster now.

Goodlooking vitt. nice sturdy build too.

Thanks, The best advice I can give is plenty of space and plenty of high protein fish meat. Trout seems to have worked really well for me. I have also been giving him the odd Hikari pellet to add a little of extra nutrition.
