Baby ATF's

What size tank do you have them in ? In addition to the 3rd one you picked up you should also get a few dithers. At least 2 dithers per ATF. The more distraction you have in the tank with them the less time they have to focus on one another. Serioulsy though not to burst your bubble but I would of just picked up one to have it grow up to be in mint condition than to loose the other two eventually and waste your money. But if you can afford it and not take it as a big loss they are an awsome predator indeed, once they get close to the 8" or so mark.

Don't get me wrong, you can raise 3 ATF's togheter provided they have the space. If you have them anything under a 300 gallon tank chances are very slim you will have all 3 in the future.

Keeping a school is possible, the KEY is space. Even if you buy 5-10 ATF's but have them in a small footprint of a tank you will be down to 1.

You are sooooooo right. I brought back 2 of them because the one I kept was going to kill both of the others. 1 is better for sure. Too bad. I suggest only owning 1 to future buyers but that's just my opinion.

Good choice =-) Glad they took it back. Having one mint ATF is better than wasting your hard earned money by them killing eachother.

I agree, and it also saves 2 lives of spectacular fish for someone else to own. The one I kept is getting plump and should grow real fast.
