+1 looking good man, mine are a little larger and eating silversides, but mine dont like eating larger prey like yours, they'll shred silversides and small feeders but avoid large feeders like the plague haha. Two gatf and a vatf
These pics are about a month old but still growing strong about a half inch per month

Nice group. That's similar to mine except I have mostly VATF and one GATF. I've got a Black Aro with them too. I tried adding a PBass but they were too small yet.

I started making my own food an it's been a huge success. I ground up massivore, algae pellets, krill, shrimp and tilapia. They go crazy when I feed them. I think that's the way to go to feed non live.

nice, i have thought about making my own food, but i got a 50lb box of high protein pond food that they love and all of it cost me $80 shipped. it is something like 45-50% protein. i gave them some hikari foodsticks tonight since i got them to get some gar off live. i took y pbass out again it tried to eat my ropefish i got for the bottom "clean up" i have never in my life seen a more messy eater then gatf!

you can always grind up sticks or pellets into whatever recipe you're putting together. I threw in some hikari sticks into my batch just because I had some laying around at the time.

Yeah my GATF leave a trail of food bits all over the place. That's why my tinfoil barbs are huge because they follow the GATF and eat all the scraps.

They're so awesome! Good to hear they are mostly off live food and taking pellets. Although I will miss watching them stalk unsuspecting goldfish and leaving them stunned and ripped apart, lol.

i added some ropefish to help with that, i have plants so i cant go with tinfoils. i had some very nice tinfoils before and i wouldn't mind another group of them. they had the dark red tails and fins with the dark black lines on the fins. i may do that food deal, but i dont know.

thanks

i still throw in a feeder now and then because it is good for them and i love the hunt with shreds of twitching fish parts is sweet! if i remember right your grounded from me so it will be a while before you can see then eat again.....
