Those who have kept ATFs together; need your opinion and experience.
I am in the midst of getting a batch of 5 ATFs (sizes around 10-12 inches).
Four of them: 3 VATF and 1 GATF are raised together and apparently not much fights amongst themselves.
The other one; FATF is from another hobbyist.
I have 2 tanks that can house them - together or separately. The scenario:
1. All five of them into my monster comm. It has a mix of wolves, aro, gar, dorado, Oscar and PB.
2. Three of the VATFs into the monster comm. The GATF and FATF into my other tank of an AUL and some small dithers.
3. All five of the into the AUL tank.
A few concerns:
1. Do ATFs do better in a shoal? Will there be missing eyes and torn fins in the future?
2. Will ATFs bother bottom dwellers like AUL?
3. Which is a bigger risk: wolves going after the ATFs or fighting amongst themselves?
Alternatively, anyone can suggest a great way to house them (either together or break up into the two tanks mentioned) for the best results?
Sincere thanks and have a great weekend.
