Show us you Goliath Tiger Fish

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Hi all

Just orded a new ATF. Realy lucky as they had 1 left. Was listed as Goliath but i know this is unlikely. I'm hoping its vittatus ( i know most peole would want a goliath, but i'd never be able to house one).Will be with me on Wednesday. Hoping that it's not another species as there have been alot of African pikes (hepsetus) around the Uk lately. Also ordered an angelicus syno.

Ta.

Good luck IoStrisciare. They look to be very small right now, difficult to varify for sure, but you'll know for sure in a few months. Hopefully they won't develop prominant striping. I hope you have the real deal.

Here's mine next to a Vittatus at approximately 6"

thanks... so far after comparison to similar sized brevis and vittatus they are different. So hopefully they are goliaths.

here is a goliath from japan, and they aren't cheap over there either, 5x the price of a normal tiger! I'll post some comparison shots later

These were imported last year. I know the guy who owns this shop and there is one left but he wont eat and one of his eyes is completely white, so the owner is not selling it. And yes $600 dollars is expensive, but I have seen smaller for more expensive here.

look like the ones i got...

from an article in *********** i believe these to be the real deal.

And they look the closest to the adult specimen body shape.
 
hello,
New here cause i was lookin for info on the Goliath Tiger Fish. got a 125 planted discus tank, but just dont have time for them anymore :cry: But decided I want to try my hand at this BEAST. I see most of you folks have a hard time getting this fish and would like to say if any of you live near southeast Mi, I can get this fish almost anytime. but cost a pretty penny :WHOA: $80-$125 :WHOA:
