My poor gatf got super punked

At first I thought it was a Dorado but it has the teeth and mouth of a GATF. That's very interesting. Maybe a different variety.

He must spend a lot of time cleaning that tank with all the fish debris all over the place. lol

Look like Goliath to me. That's a nice setup for sure, he's got some nice fish. Only thing missing is a dorado imo

 

[greenerinks]

yeah, thats a great setup. still feasible in a home.. every once in awhile, i keep finding new sp popping up in the trade here. will post more finds when i can.

Those are all run of the mill goliaths. The one with the extra point had tail damage that healed funny. Really nice fish and an amazing tank. Tankgoals, right there.

Ahh is that also why that extra patch looks a bit yellow as well?

My Max had lots of yellow in his tail. I never considered it to be strange.

Hi I am building a grow out tank for Hydrocynus goliath specimens could I have some images of your setup? Just something to base some of my setup off of. You seem to have a lot of success with this species so any tips are helpful. My email is alligatorsnapper45@gmail.con

At present, I don't have any tanks running.

If you'd like to sample my knowledge on this genus, please refer to my 11,000 word guide/essay on them, which can be found here:

After reading that, I'd be happy to answer any specific questions that you may have (though publicly on the forum so that others may learn as well).
