Mad Max the GATF and Chicxulub's other ATF

[Chicxulub]

EDIT-

I've gone back and consolidated all of the ATF threads that I could find. Some picture spamming that I did about Max and non-ATF fishes in late 2012 I didn't merge back into this thread because they're either duplicates or irrelevant to this thread.

The huge, famous Mad Max thread now starts on post 83 on page 9. Here's a link:

Please enjoy reading about my (mis)adventures with African tiger fish. I'm sure I've missed something, but I've got most of it I reckon.

Oh! And yes, you're seeing that right: the very first thread that mentioned the now-famous Mad Max actually didn't get a single reply. Who'd have thought he'd become what he did?

This is my new goliath tigerfish. I got him two weeks ago. He's 2.5".

Yesterday I noticed that my young GATFs teeth were all crooked and snaggle toothed. This morning I noticed his teeth were gone. Today when I got home from work, he had all new, larger teeth. He had hit a growth spurt and hadn't been eating for a few days and now I know why!

Interesting. How big is he?

 

[Chicxulub]

Just got to about 6"

Its Normal for ATF to lose teeth and grow them back

yup, quite normal, and usually less apt to feed during this time, although mine do sometimes .... mine shed their teeth about once a month

Hmm, I guess I'll have to pay more attention next time. My GATF went for a few days without eating very well. Then resumed right back to gorging after that. It must have been teeth changing time.

interesting

yeah, you'll see there teeth get all crooked, then if you look closely the roof of their mouth on the inside has like a lot of meat in it, then the new teeth will quickly come in

Yep my two gatf just shed theirs last week and are tearing silversides apart now, the mouth sorta looks like a African pike with the swelling while it happens
