I agree with Chix. Had about a dozen Forskali in the past.
Do you have any pics of your old ATF and setups? Keep hearing references to you keeping these things long before any of us even found MFK. I'd love to know more about the size of tanks, amount of current, size of shoal, all that.....

Chix had to school us all about how to even ID these things, just curious how you were able to do so with such ease back when Gatf and Vatf couldn't hardly even be differentiated.....

I owned my first ATF in the late 80's from a LFS named Vince's on Valley Blvd in San Gabriel, CA. Saved for almost a full year before I could afford to buy one (I was only in Jr. High back then). Vince's had several for sale. The cheapest one(one I purchased) was going for $750(6 inches). There was no info on what kind of species it was. Just African Tigerfish... that's all.
