I only have a video for now.. will try and get pics soon. A little history on this atf. I've had him for about 19 months. He was about 10 inches when I bought him and now he is 15-16 inches.
 
It's appears to be a very unusual brevis.

It looks like the ones that I've seen from the Nile as opposed to the equally rare ones from the Sahel. The ones from Nigeria and the other rivers in western Africa have a strong golden color with reduced stripes and grow larger, while the ones from the Nile are white with more pronounced stripes and don't get as big. Yours is the first on that I've seen that was convincingly not a forskahlii that I think is an Egyptian brevis.

He is getting his butt kicked by the VATFs and I need to remove him before he gets killed. But it will be a delicate task trying to take him out without stressing all the other ATFs in the tank. This ATF was living peacefully with a smaller VATF for over a year but the smaller vatf was killed after adding it to the group recently.
 
I'd like to see some more pics and vids of him if you could. The temperament you're describing sounds more FATFy, but he could just be a ***** ass BATF lol. LOL no matter how badass you are, if someone's got twice your mass, the fight probably won't go well for you... LMAO
 
Thanks, Vince. The pics are inconclusive for now. I'll play with them in PS tonight to see of I can bring out some detail!

I have no idea what kind of ATF this is.. I just know it's not a VATF or a GATF!
