Hello all,

i think I have three VATF in my current grow out tank but please help me to verify that. Have currently a bit trouble cause one of the three is growing faster and is now very dominant and attacking the smaller ones. Maybe have to separate them.

first pic shows the bigger one.

Thx for your help and awesome community here, read a lot in the past here!

So Chicxulub Chicxulub what would you recommend, definetly seperate them?
Never checked FATF dueto the fact that the dealer sold them as VATF but i think youre totally right.

Thanks !

Anything else you would recommend, als in terms of differences in care to the VATF?

I think you need higher volume water changes. 35% weekly seems insufficient in my experience, regardless of filtration. 50-70% for long term health seems more like it. Nice Fish! Good luck!
