ID on 2 different ATF's please
- Thread starter SSJ Crit
- Start date
Agree with the first being GATF.
The second one is tricky for me as to tell VATF, BATF, TATF, etc. apart I'd need to sweat over the ID sticky by C Chicxulub .
BTW, the whole taxonomy of the colorful ATF (that is non-GATF) needs much work and according to our resident experts Wes and Chicx we may be getting the colorfull species all wrong anyway.
So I don't even wanna try anymore.

Yea that makes sense that the colored ATF species is going to need new information in light of all the recent data everyone has observed.
I definitely feel confident in identifying GATF now. It's just the other species that are hard to identify. Its also amazing how a lot of new information has come up with the five species further making it more possible for variations of each of the species.
