Tarpons and Tiger

[johnny potatoes]

Thought I'd share some pics of my fish. 2 atlantic tarpon, 2 indos a TATF and jardini. I threw in a pic of my dorado when transferring to another tank, literally the only time I've seen the dorado not swimming (when laying on the counter). At some point I'd like to add the dorado to the others but at this time he's to big, I already tried with the 2 atlantic tarpon and the dorado since they are the same size but he's to aggressive at this point. I'll give it another shot at a later time. Jardini is very mellow as you can see he is nearly twice the length of my tiger.

Beautiful tanks! Do you feel nervous about keeping the jardini with the ATF?

Nice fish!

Thanks man, they look a little beat up from the tank transfer on Friday. I'll post more pics in a couple of weeks once they get their shine back.

I've had this jar since it was 7" and have not seen any aggression towards any tank mates, large or small. I never even considered a problem between the two. However when I added the ATF I realized the size difference and thought ···· he could eat him if he wanted to, but it seems like he doesn't even know the ATF is there. It's only been a couple of days so the first fish I look for in the morning is the ATF. I'm not loosing sleep over it but the thought does cross my mind .

Watch your jar like a hawk, I can't really tell how big he is from the pics you posted but when they get to be about 8-12 inches they usually end up snapping and start offing their tank mates.

Very nice fish, as for the jar he looks pretty big already and if he hasn't gone all psycho on them yet fingers crossed he should be fine.

The jar was 16" in August, I put a tape on him when transferring to the 350 he's in now. The ATF is 9" as measured Friday when I added him and the 4 tarpon to the 350. The 2 Atlantic tarpon are just about 12" and the indo's are around 9" to 10"
