TIGERFISH ID

[MyFishEatYourFish]

I am buying this tigerfish in a week. I am told it is a Goliath, though I know to be skeptical. Tell me what you guys think.

Awesome! How can you tell? Lack of striping?

The lack of striping combined with several other morphological factors that are somewhat less pronounced work together to create a general impression of GATFness. I'll be the first to admit however that young tigers are devilishly hard to positively identify. Sometimes one just cannot tell what species they're looking at; your decent quality picture certainly made that easier.
