ATF ID PLEASE!

[JayJardini]

I bought the atf from Ted with All Happy Aquarium and was sold to me as a vittatus. Anyone with the train eye can help ID my atf. I appreciated it.

I'd say it is. Very nice fish!

 

[nelsonx22]

it looks like a goliath

It's definitly not a golith it's a vittatus. Goliath have even long snout. vittatus are very colorful compared to goliaths very nice pick up

its not a true vittatus either. its from nigeria, only available during the summer., doesn't grow very big, not over 20" I guarantee you, I would call it h. forskalli

West, How could you tell if it was a H. Forkalli? what gave it away knowing that it is a Fatf?

From what I can tell it looks slenderer and the snout shape is different than Vittatus. But that could be the pic angle. It appears to have an under bite. How large is it currently?

See my Vittatus from the Congo here....

that tiger came from this time of the year, from all happy which gets them this time of the year from one wholesaler, which getes it from nigeria, which only produces this type of tiger, which does not grow large from my previous 10 or so years of repeated experience with this fish. it has a more slender body, longer cauldal puduncle. smaller head to eye ratio and mouth is shorter, just to name a few.
