Is it a GATF!?!

Best distinguishing feature of a Goliath for me has always been the head shape & snout. More rectangular/boxy than the others.

Here's when I had a few several specie on one tank.

I'd agree also that the one pictured looks like a skinny Vitattus..

Had enough in my day to tell the difference. I grew these guys from like 2-3" to about a foot+ before I got rid of them. Truly the most active and fun to have. They shoal like a wolf pack oppose a solitary Goliath. I've had about 3 Goliaths at one time in my tank and always liked to be to themselves. Unlike the Vitattus who liked to around each other. If I ever would keep ATF's again it would have to be a PACK of Vitattus....
