Bought my new VATF, super excited! Should get him on wednesday, he's about 6"

what are some good tankmates for him?
 
ive always heard that the red tail cudas are suitable, but im sure there are better options for that fish, guess it mainly depends on the size of tank your going to be keeping them in,
ATF's are pretty sick!! :headbang2
 
yeah they are!! i almost got a goliath at a steal of a price at $90 but it jumped out of the guys tank before i picked it up. red tail cuda isnt a bad idea, but ATF is kind of a cuda on steroids so i was lookin for somethin not as similar.
 
I have mine with a dorado and a couple tinfoils. What size tank is he going in?
 
They aren't very aggressive at that size so similar sized tank mates should work for you as long as they don't spook him. Stay away from territorial fish. Enjoy him, they are very cool fish.
 
So far so good although they are still small maybe 8to9". The dorado is outgrowing the vatf but at this point they shoal together. Adding the tins seem to help calm the dorado down a little.
 
The clown knife will rapidly outgrow the vatf so that may not be the best choice unless you're going to upgrade soon. The tire track And cuda may work just make sure you have plenty of cover so the eel isn't picked on or eaten.
