Hello all! I am about to buy my first African tiger fish.. I have done a ton of research about it including most of my research on this awesome forum! The 3.0 ID ATF thread is incredibly helpful I learned a lot however I'm still not too confident my untrained eye was able to figure out what species these tiger fish are from my local fish store so I'm wondering if anybody out there could give their input and help me out.
So my local fish store has three ATFs in stock and they're all labeled as Goliaths. I took a bunch of pictures of them I'm going to post one picture of each and I was hoping if anybody give me any advice as to what species they think they are and also if they notice anything health wise. I know a picture can only tell so much and I do have couple other pictures I can post if needed.
Furthermore, they are asking $350 each. I've called around to many different stores here in Washington State (which is where im located) as well as any other store here in states here in the West Coast area can't seem to find any that have them. A lot of the stores claim there supplier does not have them anymore because they are seasonal caught. Is that true? Let me know if this $350 price is too steep for the fish pictured and if they are really only available certain time of the year. Also, let me know if anybody knows anyone selling any at the moment anywhere even if I its in another state.
Any input is very much appreciated thank you for your time!
