Got my first ATF...

[Ray'Oconner]

Ur Chopmed tail is a VATF for sure..
U will see more features as it progresses..

And I would not keep them in two's
U will end up having a one eye jack soon..

But still they are fantastic tigers..
Enjoy the thrill of the hunt..

Great looking fish. I currently have goliaths, vitattus, and a brevis as well and from the pictures you look to have a BATF and a VATF. Very nice fish, the Brevis I have was my first tiger I acquired sold to me as a goliath. He has always been extremely skittish and grows very slowly but if you can grow him out for a year or two the striping and coloration that begins to come out is very impressive.
Good Luck!

I see a BATF and a VATF, but i could be wrong im no expert. Either way ATF is ATF and they are all badass. Good buy! if you guys can help me ID my new ATF i'd appreciate it. thanks boys.

very nice goliath...

Neither are GATF. I see one VATF and possibly two. GATF have a longer but blunter (squared off) snout. Where as VATF have a shorter but pointier one. Also GATF wont have horizontal striping or yellow tinting in the body. GATF will be just white/silver body color. As they get larger you will see other more pronounced differences also.

See this members vid of his GATF, you will see the difference.

i would agree, they dont look to be GATF, however as they get older it'll be easier to tell. I also agree with the one eyed jack comment, the first 2 Goliaths i had fought like dogs after a few months until 1's eyes got messed up from the others teeth, and then the other outgrew ... you could get lucky, but these fish nip at eachother, so a few are better than 2 cause it divides the action ... plus usually with 2 the nipping becomes chasing and beating as soon as one becomes submissive .... also i had huge problems in my tank all because i didnt have enough flow in the tank ... slime coat, and scale issues developed so i'd say current is a must ... they can always find a calm spot in the tank if they need to
