New ATF

[Adamson]

It was labeled as a GATF and I am pretty sure it is, I don't care though, I just wanted one. It looks like its chin is a little beat up, it was attacking the tank divider at the LFS, I grabbed it because I thought it had good personality. Hopefully the chin heals up in the 125 gallon. Should I maybe add salt to the water to help with it?

I also picked up this big Apollo Shark today because I kind of wanted a nice big top swimmer for my tank that looks kind of empty. I think it's chin might be kind of messed up.

Also, if anyone could help. I took a quick video of the tank, can the ATF be successful in this tank even though there are a couple cichlids in there? If someone could please watch and give me some advice that would be excellent!

Goliath all right.

He's got some really unusual colors, I like it. I like the big jaw, too. Its longer than normal. Good looking little guy.

Lucky pick up man congrats

 

[Adamson]

Thanks!

And yeah Rob I have a Koralia evo 750 but I am going to try and get the 1400 one in there as well. I'll have to pull those cichlids until this guy gets bigger I guess. The bigger cichlid is a Texas, the smaller ones are small midevils.

Nice gatf

Not too sure about the cichlids being in there. I just watched the video, they don't seem to be paying him any attention, but I'm sure that would change over time. That texas cichlid is pretty large, and it looks like one of them has taken part of his tail off already. I personally would feel more comfortable without them in there, I just don't trust cichlids in with an ATF at that size. I'd be perfectly fine with it if they were all in the 10-12" range, but I don't have any experience keeping them with small ATF. I just don't know how a 5" GATF would handle an overbearing cichlid beating on him.

Yeah I want to plan the tank around the gatf. I don't have any tank space for the cichlids since all the other ones are piranha tanks so I will probably try and move them.

I really just want this guy to stay alive, get big, and be healthy.
I will do anything to make that happen.
