Hi, just wanted to share some video's of my ATF. It been a while since I've kept monster fish but im back now. I currently have three 3-4" GATF and one small 2" VATF, i use to have 4 more, but they all died unfortunately due to some rookie mistakes on my part. Hope you enjoy. any tips would be helpful too :).

Good luck with them. Do you plan on putting them together at some point?
 
Introducing them both to the bigger tank at the same time may work better than putting one in there first because he may very well claim it be become very territorial of it.

3 GATF and 1 VATF in a 380 gallon tank is asking for trouble. First of all within a year they will outgrow the tank. Secondly, GATFs are not exactly social with each other. The VATF will be bullied until he dies. Then the GATF will turn on each other.

I suggest doing some reading of old posts and other peoples experiences.

I could see this working out better if you had 3 vatf and 1 gatf but like everyone else says ...I also have my doubts.... Imo sell the 3 gatf .... keep the vatf and you could keep a lot of dithers like silver dollars and I would also keep a silver/black arowana and a ray would be nice

In social hierarchy of gatf , vatf position is quite weak. Bullied and then done and dusted when they come to the age. Also 380 with 4 if these little crammed. Pick one fish to.keep with SDS and rest sell. The money can be used for Xmas shopping ;) lol
