Is ok to put multi tat

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I have read different sources say that the Tats are the schoolers which is fine by me because I am in the hunt for a group.
 
I had 3 together. before the group the one i had was really shy and hide alot. After introducing 2 more they were all very out going and active. They schooled together well and competed for food. Which for tats is good cause it causes them to eat more and there for grow faster.

I am down to one now but the plan is to get back to around 5-6.

I have a small vid on here somewhere i will see if I can find it.

the more the merrier, my tat shoal is 11 strong... last time counted they were all still there
Wow 11,we gotta see some pics or a video.
 
11 wow pics please
 
Sorry ^^^ thats my super excited typing platform.

Madness can you tell us anything about how a shoal that high acts. And or if there are any problems with them.
 
I'm pretty lazy when it comes to photos, took my fancy camera out for this. :)

My tanks pretty long and they are spread around. Dont shoal in a tight group, rather 2-4 together at a time. Tank's heavily planted and lots of wood, I think in open water they'd keep a tighter formation.

First I put in 7 (now 5-6"), the second 5 (4-5") are slightly smaller so can tell them apart. The smaller ones stay in the corner of the tank together, the others group around a large plant in the middle of the tank, couple of the larger ones swim out in the open against the current with the goliaths. Very peaceful tank, no fish fight. There's few scombs and a rhalph mixed in there, rest are tats.

question for you guys, my largest scomb bumped his nose, it was raw, then turned white and now appears to have a growth on it. There's a photo of this. Should I be concerned? Been like this for few weeks now, he's the biggest and most active fish.

The second pic has some nice looking branch/root structures going on,this must be an awesome tank to just sit in of and look at.I saw quite a few GoliathTigers in there,how do you make sure they all get enough to eat?

thanks, the best is watching the fish and falling asleep. main shoals are 6 goliaths, 7 vitatus, 11 tats, 3 scombs, 1 ralph, 10 ace barracudas and some other randoms

just dump loads of feeders in there, tank's always stocked.

back to tats... when i move these fish to the new tank, it'll be more open, hope the tats take to mid level waters and swim around more. Right now they fly low and in cover.
