I kept them together in a 100g without any problems. Every once in awhile they would peck at each other if they got to close together but nothing serious just they way they are.
oki sir..how about f they will grow about 15 or 20 inches each? do u think it is still safe to put them together??
I seen them kept together at larger sizes. Check You Tube lots of people keep them together. How big are yours? best if there about the same size.
Make sure the Vampire (I would go with an Armatus) is at least 3 times the size of the Tiger. 
... All should be good for awhile. Well, I guess as long as one of them is larger than the other there ill be no dispute over which fish is the dominant one. Maybe you could get lucky and have a Vamiger fish!!!!

Maybe you could get lucky and have a Vamiger fish!!!! the issue is that they are just not cut out for aquarium life. they grow enormous and unlike other popular giants like arapiama and datnoids they have activity levels that are similar to open water pelagic fish species such as tuna or salmonids, which constantly travel for miles. this makes them extremly claustrophobic and very capable of causing great damage to themselves and equipment in an enclosure setting. Nobody i've seen or heard of has managed to keep one larger then 24 inches.
They did not get big beacause there was no open space. I never thought they would need open space. But i put 2 together. Wild ones get huge!!!!
Yeah I have to agree. Goliath Tigerfish should NOT be kept in captivity. Vitatts, yes, Goliaths no.
