Tiger Fish ID please.

Thank you all for the input that has to do with this post.

100% not Goliath. That mouth is throwing me off. I still guess VATF.

They look a little beat up? Fighting in the tank?

This fish got beat up from the shipping.

those archerfish are brackish fish by the way

Thanks for pointing out the obvious Jack Ass Troll.

your welcome, just doing my part for responsible fishkeeping

I understand that there are 5 species of African Tiger Fish:

Hydrocynus brevis
Hydrocynus forskahlii
Hydrocynus goliath
Hydrocynus tanzaniae
Hydrocynus vittatus

Sorry to burst your bubble again, but these are not GATF.

You did not get what you paid for so I hope you've received your refund.

I've heard that others have not...

BTW, this is what a GATF looks like:

Here's a pic of the same fish 2 1/2 yrs. ago (center of pic) with another type of atf...see the difference?:

That is some group of ATF. makes me want to get a group again. I stopped keeping them to do a salt water pond for swimming sharks but man ATF are still bad azz!!!!!!

 

[channarox]

its got a not-so-vittatus head shape...but brevis have a more rounded face.
tanzaniae perhaps?

I would say GATF........ pitch black adipose.

Just juvi and beat up.

Also you see how frantic he is....... VATF does not act like this.

I would have said Tanz..... but tanz is full of color even under stress. These are washed, only time will tell.

You have seen Goliath with a mouth like these? If so any pic's?
