Got a Goliath Tiger Fish today 7"

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
He is a confirmed Goliath. Note the red tail bottom and such. I know because he was shipped directly and purchased for me by the owner, I am building a 1000gallon tank for him when he grows up and for my Alligator gar, Armatus and such.
 
GATF FOR SURE
to stop him from hitting the glass
cover the sides of the tank with a vinyl background
 
yea it helps trust me..
my aro used to hit the sides all the time and even the front
the moment i covered the sides he changed completely, worth a try
 
I would recommend starting around 4-6in, starting at 10 can be a bit overwhelming, also if you plan on putting him with anything else and get him at 10in then everything else best be at least 14inches.
 
Sorry bro, that's a Vittatus. Head and scales say it all.

That's why I said post pics to confirm. I think almost every Lfs outside of MFK always orders GATF n gets VATF.

Goliaths at that size are all white w/1 white stripe along the side of the body (head to tail).

Most will not swim that much except towards the evening and most are also not aggressive eaters like the active n awesome feeding VATF

I will say pics are not clear but I'm 99.99999% positive it's a Red Tail VATF (my avatar is a Yellow Tail Congo VATF).
