I bought this 13" GATF a few weeks ago and the seller told me he had a 11" VATF in the tank with him so I offer to buy him 3 days ago, and soon as I got him in my tank I new right away he wasn't a VATF. What you think

Not surprised they get mistaken often when they are young. A lot of forkshali make their way into aquariums because they was shipped and sold as VATF. I bought 3 fatf last year thinking they was vatf
Not surprising at all...how are they doing for u?
 
I’m down to one. For some reason fatf don’t really like other atf. At the time I only had one grow out tank
Not surprising at all. Almost all groups of them end with 1 survivor. They will tear at each other's eyes and bodies. I've tried as well as many others to end in just 1 fish left. Even massive tanks have the same issue. 1 fish is best per tank!!!

Have you kept dither fish with them? I had three forskahliis too before one died cause it jumped out of the water. I've kept dither fish with them. It helped lessen their aggression for each other.

Yes but even so once they get to around 8" they become *******s to one another..I've used tfb and sd...same **** each time. They get even worse once u get them into a large tank with decor. They establish territory and at night time they attach each other back and forth...again get 1 fish per tank!!!!
