My brother wasn't happy with his GATF so after talking we agreed to a trade. I traded one of the smaller ones 5 6 inch for his 8 9 inch GATF. Hopefully it plays nice. The vatf that I traded had a tendency to hang out alone and chase others away but was a pellet pounder. This gatf I will need to train but am optimistic.

Ime ur better off concentrating on fish. Keeping a group ime has led to disappointment several times. I keep one big gatf, around 16 inch by himself with. Choice stocking. Ive done the group thing in a 500 gal with a mess. The vatf constantly went after each other's eyes to render its counterpart blind. Never again! Wasted too much time and $$$ !!! Id suggest to keep with one animal, in my opinio gatf and grow it out. If resources allow keep 2 in separate tanks so u have a back up fish incase one passes on. One must remember that in the wild that gatf are solitary fish and vatf keep themselves in a achool of all having a common size.
