Here's some questions regarding ATF species,

I've done some reading on both version of ATF guide you created and the ATF that I prefer is Vittatus and Tanzaniae. However the owner doesnt know how to identify them.

So the only one I picked have these characteristics:-

1) Pronounced stripes(Sort of ended at the lateral line)
2) Some blackish/blueish color on the adipose fin(Not sure its tip or the whole fin)
3) Black edge covering the end of tail fin
4) Clear paired fins

And based on this.. I assume mine is either Vittatus, Tanzaniae,or forskahlii


And all the other have this characteristics:

1) Yellowish paired fins
2) Without the pronounced stripes
3) Quite shinning in gold color(Indication of a brevis?)
4) Kind of broad tail fin

Can you shed some light on ID of these ATF? Particularly those that I havent pick up.(Photo can be seen at the bottom)


Sorry for all the question
Thanks for your time and have a good day !

Omg its such a good point!! I've never really think of that. I always look for color and their fins.. Captivity I usually look for a stable one and not so skittish. Ok my last 2 fishes I will consider what you have said! Thanks !

Unfortunately all the beautiful Gatf have been booked=.=

Might add a payara into my tank.. but im a little afraid that payara will harm my atf =.=
