African Tigerfish ID and Set-up

[Kilograms]

Hello guys, so two things I'd like to address. I've been keeping tigerfish for a couple of years now and always raised the one specimen. I've recently got my hands on a group of 5 tigers ( 4 goliath , 1 unknown) . They're currently in a 450 grow out. I'd like to hear everyone else's experience with putting them in a community setting. Ofcourse I am prepared if things don't work and I'm left with just the 1 specimen.

Also I'd like an ID on the unknown one if possible. Thinking forskali but may be wrong

Also if there is interest in this post I'm more than happy to keep updating
Thanks

Big guy is 10" little ones around 4-5" . Hoping to introduce them at around 6-7". So far the smaller ones are behaving nicely. Noticed that as soon as I put a really strong powerhead in , they cut the squabbling out immediately

Curious if that is your background or the wall behind the tank? if its a background where did it come from

It's just wallpaper stuck to the back of the tank

cool, i like it. i used to have a rack of 40b breeders against my chimney in my basement and loved how the brick looked behind the tanks.

Thanks guys. The tank is 8x3x30" I think (L x W x H) . I've just taken a big risk and removed the divider between the two sides of the tank. So far my larger goliath has accepted the smaller ones. I do feel that this is due to how many dithers I have in there

No aggression at the minute but there is definitely a hierarchy. Also two different types of goliath tigerfish. Visibly different head/ snout shape. Will be interesting to see how they develop
