ATF ID!!!! BATF or VATF

[Joey47]

bought as a vatf now im thinkin its a batf. chime in please.

Yours is a BATF, VATF has a short oval shape mouth, like a parrot, and a more hump back, like this below,

BATF is slimmer and its mouth is longer with lower jaw more protruded, like a bulldog, like below

Both pics look like vittatus or forskolli. I'll look for a pic I have of a brevis. Might be at work so u might have to wait till Monday
Both head shapes look identical, just different sizes

I agree NOT BATF.

count stripes below lateral line if its 2 vittatus, 3 brevis. check fishbase.org for a pic of brevis and more info.

Ill try to do a search right now... I saved a pic from a thread I think I started a while back (like 2 years ago or so)

Brevis... look at the snout shape, head shape and undebite




I think this might be the ATF that Fugu talks about with the large eyes... I think it could possibly be the Tanzania also (dont think im even close to the correct spelling). Or maybe the camera shot? His snout is deff different though.

I knew you weren't gonna leave us hanging. But the pics you got look like Joey's ATF.
