a lfs here in toronto has small AT's very tiny around 1", i was wondering what they're worth, and if i should put it with my clown loaches and other IT, i heard they're pretty aggressive. Are they more aggressive than NGT?
 
In my tanks the NGT's are the bosses. They seem to stake out a territory and defend it while the widebars, indos, silvers and thinbars dont seem to have a specific territory. I would rate the silvers as second, but in a different way than the NGT's. Than the widebars/indos, and the thinbars as the least aggressive. ;)
 
I think the last time I saw a 1" AT it was about $25.

My list is similar to vanimate's, with the exception of my number one. My ATs are by far the most aggressive dats I have. My NGTs are in a very close second with ITs in third and NTTs being the least aggressive.

I don't have any STs so they're not in my list. :irked:

I've had the best luck with packing a lot of plants and other visual barriers in there so they can claim their own territory and not fight over one hide spot. It's a little more work durring water changes, but it's worth it.
 
im still looking for a ST.. search continues****

my NTT is a wuss, today, I was adding a new filter to my tank.. he got sooo scare, his color turn all dull and hides in a corner :eek:

I will go check that shop soon, I heard he got some rays and flag tail in this week :D
 
yea ST's are very hard to find now adays.. you jus have to find ppl who are willin to let them go.. even when they're willin to let it go don't expect them to sell for under $200

yea ur right they do have some flagtails and motoro's coming in this week or next
 
I found some thou, but they are all big.. at least 7"+

Stupid Thailand ban.. I want small one so I can train them to eat pellets.. Dont have a lot of time to cut up little pieces of shrimp and squid for the fish :(

I just paid $80 for a AT at 4" @ Square one Mississauga, mine isn't territorial but it is aggressive but only when provoked, like my 12" pleco hit my 4" AT with its tail and the AT almost flipped it over...
 
I just brought one, pic will be up soon.. the big NTT and the small AT.. both are wuss.. I drop a shrimp to the bottom, they wont touch, neither does the shark, I put my net to retrieve it back, the 2 tigers go dull in color and the shark go beserk (bumping the tank) :(
 
they're still new give it some time to get use to ur tank
