Heck I can't tell what they are from the pics. :lol2:

For ATF that small, you need super clear closeups for a positive ID. In the first picture they actually look like baby Goliaths of all things. In the original pics though, I'm inclined to agree with you.

I'll be watching this with great interest. I hope the one is a forsakhlii. Its about time someone got a forskahlii and grew it out to a respectable size! I think if someone gets a forskahlii to a foot or greater, people will see how great of a fish they are. Once I get my BIG tank (not the 510, the one after that) I plan to have a shoal of FATF to act as dithers for my Goliath.

The other one looks to be either vittatus or tanzaniae. I'm inclined to think vittatus though. I can't wait till they're big enough to tell for sure. :)
