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!

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
