I am able to pick up a GATF today that is about the same size as my VATF but I was just wondering if they would be ok with each other.
They will be house in my 125 for now till they get a bit bigger to go in the 400. The would be with 3 paraya and some discus. The tiger fish are only about 5 inch, both of them and the paraya are only like 4 inch. discus are like 5 inch.
 
might be fine,might not be.
however watch for battles since theres only two of them.
the VATF might turn on the GATF showing dominance.
also,atf school work better with alot of individuals.

Thats what I thought but thats also why I added the three paraya they seem to be schooling with my VATF now so I guess i'll get it and just see what happens. Hopefully nothing cuz its a prices little fish:eek:

try adding more silvery fish to the mix.
 
I have heard that Vits at a small size will bully the G. G's seem to be a bit more fragile while smaller. I probably wouldn't try it but you never know.

I have two Vits one 10" and the other 9", in an 8'er. The larger is always chasing the the other, to the point where I am looking to separate them.
I have had to introduce my Tat to the tank. The Tat now shoals with the Vits. The Vits do not show any aggression to the Tat but still do to each other. The aggression seems to be tiger to tiger only.
