But the pics you got look like Joey's ATF.

If you look closely at the top snout, it has a curve rather than a straight snout like a birds beak (use my VATF as a reference on sloap). Mr.Cafri's has a curve on both pics so we know it is not the camera shot. Also, if you stare at the bottom of his mouth, you will see the underbite compared to Joeys.
I guess its like looking at Dats... I cant tell the difference between IT and ST, Im stuck on those:irked:

Joeys is def not a Brevis and goliath is out the question. Its between the other ATFs... Vitt or Fork (I would assume Tanz is not out the question but a very long shot). Im going to go with Wes as im sure he sees ATFs at this size more than most of us. with a 2nd guess of a Red Tail Vittatus from Nigeria (There is a guy named tigerfish74 from San Jose or something close to that that has a shoal of 7pcs or so that apear to be Vittatus with only Red Tail. I was told that Vittatus from Nigeria are Red Tail and Yellow Tail are from Congo).

You got those from Charlie? Looks like they have yellow in the tail? What size are they... 7" or so?
 
West1 the one on top is 6+" one on bottom is 5" The pic is not that good but the tails have alot of red in em. The smaller one eats frozen blood worms but the bigger one doesn't. I been power feeding em and they are growing fast. going to start slowing down there feeding now

Oh cool. How's the aggression? I know they are chasing eachother... Just how bad is it (if they are not, you might have a pair of non aggressive ATFs)?
