Maybe the Fahaka is too slow to catch the ATF? It's like a bulldog with a Grey hound. lol

If the tank is big enough maybe it could work.

Odd combination... but I like it.

Wow nice! It seems that tigerfish are really widespread now!

Wow that is a GORGEOUS vittatus! Very nicely decorated tank too. Very natural looking.

Vittatus for sure. His adipose fin would be blue and his tail wouldn't be so vividly colored if he was tanzaniae.

Correct, both VATF and TATF have color on both lobes of the tail. However the color on the TATF is somewhat faded and not nearly as vivid.

The adipose fin of a TATF will be blue, the adipose fin of a VATF will be black.

Also clearly indicative of a tanzaniae is that the second stripe above the lateral line will be dramatically reduced. In a vittatus, it will only be slightly reduced or not reduced at all.

For comparison, here is a similarly sized tanzaniae:

the color of tail is more yellow, do you think is a zambezi or congo vittatus?
