Just wanted to share the latest photo of 1/3 VATF in my tank. This one is the most dominant one pushing 11 inches or so. Has a good 2-3 inches on the other 2 in the tank. Will continue to update as the months go by. Thanks!

Correct. Vittatus African Tiger Fish (VATF). And thank you! Colors really pop when they are in darker environments.
Love all the tiger fish species, I'd love to have a Goliath tiger but I don't think that will ever happen. Lol not unless I have a swimming pool with a suit of chainmail.
Yeah Goliaths are my favorite. I would love one but I don’t really have a long term home for one at the moment. Some people on here have some crazy Goliaths in decent sized tanks. So it’s possible.
Lol I would trust getting in there to clean the tank tho, not with them teeth, not unless ya feel like losing an arm or leg that is. Wonder what all ya could even stock with them if it's even possible.
ATF tend to be weenies in their tank. They're typically the victim when put with like size fish.
That being said, I'd still absolutely err on the side of caution with one starting at about 12". Even if they're a weenie who consistently is victimized, when they do strike back, it's typically fatal or close to it.

They are not like you would expect them to be .. ?
They need the protection not you. The fish has been somewhat misrepresented.
