They were all around 3 inches long when i first got them, so they have grown a fair bit, i will try to add a feeding vid in the next few days, i have some vids on youtuble under thetigertank its in three parts, if you guys havent allready seen it? But i will add a better quality one as soon as i get a chance.

So in a lil over a yr they grew about 7" or so :WHOA:

Man, I better keep my 5" cause they might be able to live with my 11" Goliath:naughty: (for a short time:D)

I think as long as they are roughly the same size and you have a big enough tank and the fish are well fed that you can keep all the Tigerfish species together, my Goliath is not as aggressive as the other tigers in the tank however having said that when he reaches closer to the 14 inch mark things might change!! Good luck with youre Tigers, i wouldnt get rid of any of them if i was you, i stil these are the Ultimate predatory fish to own.

The Tank is 6 foot by 2 by 3, and to answer previous questions, i feed them prawns, whitebait, trout, salmon, and live river shrimp from time to time and obviously the occasional live fish, such as goldfish etc, my plan from the start was to get as many juveniles as i could to grow up and then choose one or two specimens to keep and grow on to full size however as they started to grow i noticed variations between them, and at first i thought i had 6 vittatus and one Goliath however i know believe i have 4 different species in the tank including Vittatus which i believe i have two, one Goliath, one Brevis, and two forskalli, and another which has a different shape mouth alltogether however could be any of the species mentioned, so as you can imagine i dont really want to sell any of them till they get a bit bigger and know for sure what species i have in there, but ideally i would like to keep all of them however as they grow i dnt think that this will be possible!! lol.
