the aquarium does in fact ship to state side. But i don't know if there are any goliaths left.

The aquarium is one of the forum sellers here. Cichlids Forever. :grinyes:
 
there are 5 species in the hydrocynus genus, right? Forsalki (sp) is also another that seems to come in instead of goliath.

I am very interested to see what becomes of these guys!

all the other species are striped if i'm not wrong and have v diff characters compared to these 2...

much less timid than the normal hydrocynus.
 
They look like these guys.... got them from one of the sponsors f the forum...:)

These hydrocynus sp. also have no stripes, but they do not look like goliaths. In fact, they might be vitattus. But, like Clay said, I too am not an expert on classifying this fish while juvenile. How much did you pay for those ?

i will snap more pics of them as they grow.

As for comming them w other tigerfish i think tts a big no no...

already they're very aggressive among themselves. Don't think a jumpy species like vittatus can take living with them.

from an article i read, juvenile goliaths have a bluish stripe on the top of their bodies and faint stripes. Plus if u notice, these guys have a much more powerful built jaw than vittatus or brevis. Plus characterwise they are much more aggressive.

i paid like US$30 for one.
 
first picture are the ones I got in, labeled as Goliath, but are they, they are from the Congo though.

the second, I've posted before, is what I consider goliath, and sold in Japan as such, with a hefty price tag too
