The sticky threads here were written a few years ago, and I realize that they need updating. Any and all input is welcome, I'd especially like input from DB junkie DB junkie and fugupuff fugupuff .

In particular:

-ATF husbandry. My treadmill/high flow idea works, but I gave the impression with the sticky that it is something that must be done. That's not the case. It works, but it's not required.

-ATF taxonomy. Not sure if I want to open this can of worms, but it probably deserves to be addressed. As I originally brought up waaay back in 2012, there are 4 undescribed subspecies and one undescribed species. One fish common in the hobby is almost certainly one of these undescribed populations, though we currently have no way to tell them apart from what we currently think that they are. I may attempt to clarify the issue. Not really sure if I want to confuse everyone though.

-Dorado cohabitability. At the time of the sticky, they were thought to be brutes who killed everything. Now, much like aimara wolves, they appear to be social if you can stack the tank correctly.

-General information. Anything that the community feels is relevant but not present, I will be happy to address in the stickies.
