identifying baby tigerfish

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
That pic is so bad hat even I can't be sure what it is, but I can be sure that it is NOT a goliath.

This fish is something in the vatf complex, sensu lato. I'd say this is probably big eye, but without better pics I cant be sure.
Looks batf to me. My old tiger Was identified as big eye by a few people. Was exactly like vatf, just thinner body, bigger eyes and got yellow fins when he Was around 15''.

Very nice atf!! It's a big eye though.
Yours is definitely big eye. The fish above is something in the vatf complex. It's not brevis.
I agree that the above fish is more on the vatf complex. Probably vatf from Nigeria, definitely not from Congo and Zambezi. It also has a slight chance to be a brevis. Look at the body structure.
