New GATF

[tydus]

Heck, he'll probably be eating them within a few days then!

That's what I'm hoping for! All thanks to you for the amazing method and great articles/info of african tigerfish.

My pleasure.

I hope you guys enjoy reading them as I did researching and writing them!

That's been the key to my success though. The GATF needs targets that are expendable or he'll kill more expensive tankmates. It seems to really help having a lot of targets to spread the aggression around, too.

Once Max started eating pellets and put some size on him, he really calmed down. Instead of biting now, 95% of the time he just charges. He only very rarely bites anymore.

I hear you on that. I've always believed in dithers with predatory fish and the Goliath is no different. He's killed a dozen zebra danios, a few tigers barbs, and one clipper barb as of today. I have no problem buying a dozen barbs every week or two to keep my dats and bass safe!

Sounds good. I just picked one up too and he's already mouthing and tasting pellets after watching the tinfoils.

It helps to feed pellets 1-2 at a time. They seem to lose interest when there are a lot of them in the tank at one time.

My pleasure.

Before you, I thought I had a decent grasp on tiger fish ID. Now I don't know ****!

That's awesome! I've read numerous horror stories of tiger fish eating nothing but live food their entire lives. My FATF and GATF both took to pellets without much of a struggle.

Nice Mike, bout time you took that thing home.

Thanks Jay. I realized I'm just missing something for the bottom of this tank and you've got something for me

Mine is just a baby and it eats everything. As long as flow is plentiful and there are no aggressive tankmates, I think it's easy.

Here's a shot of him following tonight's feeding. It's just an iPhone so excuse the quality.
