I know I know... there are a couple Monsters I have let go that I shouldnt have... After the Big Goliath went packing I seen you post your pic on the ATF and then I wanted one again
Now Im stuck between Cichlas and ATF.........

Thats no bad thing

I know it has been in someones tank since last year... but I just havent had a solid ID on him... I am leaning towards Brevis (I thought Forsk and Vittatus was the same fish?)


that's why its not huge yet. the one people call brevis comes out of congo, this fish is out of nigeria. they are thinner, longer bodied, with dark black stripes. the scientific names on these are not updated but what we call, "forskalli" is this long thin tiger fish.

Alright, Ill take your word for it... Looking at some other pics of Vittatus it dont look like them...
Thanks for the ID
(you wouldnt happen to be getting in some VATF any time soon huh?)

I didn't feed him for two days before you got him so he must be hungry right ?
