Im getting a 40-45cm GATF soon from a fellow hobbyist. I just wanna double check if he is gonna be compatible with the current stock :
1x Aussie lungfish 30cm+
3x Stingrays 30-35cm+

Tank size 200cm x 90cm x60cm


Here is the video of the GATF i am getting.

And this is the tank he is gonna be in

The tiger fish should be fine the only problem I could see is if he bites the lungfishes fins

Yeah gatf are not as mean as what some say. Well fed and maintained including adequate swimming space, water flow, alot of o2 and excellent water cond. Follow those protocols and it will do fine. Depending upon how the tank is setup currently try to mimick that. If the side and bk walls are covered do the same in urs. Their downfall is how skittish some can be. Many have been lost due to fish spooking and slamming itself against a side wall. Do ur best to min and excessive activity around the tank, perhaps dim the lites some until it getz acclimated well. Beautiful gatf by the way. They are truly something special. I adore mine which is pushing past 18" atm. Im upgrading itz enclosure to a 1500 gal fbg tank with a viewing window. Cylinder shaped to deflect incase it attempts to run against the wall.

Also i was going to say to use a big fish bag to catch it instead of a net. Safer for the fiah and you. Double bags will do the trick and depending how far u live from them i would go as far to say to leave it in there as well.
