Goliath Vittatus?

[I31]

Is there such a thing? I tried buying what I know to be a Vittatus but it was labeled as GATF "Goliath". $$ When I questioned whether it was because it didn't look like one for the money, I received an answer, because it was in tank labeled as such......it's a Goliath. I requested for confirmation from 2nd person who agreed it was Goliath. Employee was kind enough check with probably someone who was familiar and when they came back I was told it was a Goliath Vittatus.

Nope

How much are they selling them for? If it's under $150 it's a good deal nonetheless.

Is there a Goliath Vittatus fish? I always thought it's either a Goliath or Vittatus but not a hybrid species?

150.00? Thats rather steep depending on size. I would not touch a VATF under 7" for that price (thats just me thought Lol)

Id say this is your typical Lfs... knows enough but not enough

Goliaths and Vittatus are different species.
Post a Pic and we will ID him for ya. I personaly love Lfs like that cause usually you get good species for low end prices as they dont know what they have

Yes your're right. That is the concensus belief.

I think there may be "hybrids" between non-GoliathATF but not between goliath and vitattus. would be be cool if there was though...

Didn't take pic when I was there (2hr drive). Unfortunately, this was the other way around, lower end fish for higher end price. Next time I'll asked for owner directly to plead my case. It's been fixed but a little too late for me, not goin to make the road trip anytime soon. Guess I can look at it as saving some money.
