ATF ID please

[Parachromisg]

I was walking through my lfs today and I saw this on sale as a "Goliath Tigerfish". Im not sure how to ID it properly tho.So I thought I would leave it to the experts. It has a slight red hue on the bottom of the tail fin and the jaws look quite blunt.

I hope someone can help ID it.

Thanks!

The picture is not very clear but it looks like it could be a GATF

Just to add! There are no lateral lines on it either. Its about 4" long. I hope its a true goliath, they are really hard to find in the uk.

From my small brain I gather the analysis it is a tiger! GET IT. wait... how much?

 

[mybrainsfreud]

yes how much?

 

[Parachromisg]

Its £69.95. The shop just got it in.

 

[Parachromisg]

Is £69.95 a reasonable price? Im just interested to see if its a true goliath. If it is i will speak to the owner and see if they can get anymore in

Normal to good price at this size here in Europe for either of the Hydrocynus species!

Good luck mate.

Yeah but try to focus on the muzzle/snout and it looks to have a good bit of tail finnage...Very Goliath like.
