Tydus's Goliath Tiger Fish

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Thanks Rob! Max is the reason I wanted a goliath in the first place. Even if my gatf turns out half as good as max, I will still be happy.

He's off to a good start. He looks like a clone of Max at that size (hence Minimax lol). They both have the really long nose and torpedo shape. Here's Max at about 6" for comparison:

Damn Max looks incredible! I'll be sure to update this thread with pics of "minimax" as he gets bigger lol. I really hope he turns out just as nice
 
Normally I would wait atleast a month before updating but I was at a lfs today and picked up a bala shark and a lemon barb. Decided to take pics for fun.

Thanks Rob. Right after I took these pics the gatf took down 3 pellets. I wasn't expecting it to eat too much because he's been teething for the past 2 days.

When they start shedding teeth, they eat a lot and get really aggressive and bite everyone. They don't really stop eating till they've successfully knocked out the loose teeth. They'll go off their diet for a few days 'til the new teeth come in and the gum recedes before they start eating again.
 
Nice info. I believe my gatf must still be shedding his teeth then. For the past 2 days he's only eaten 2 pellets total and 5 pellets today. He's been a little weird.

Sounds right. They'll act weird for a while before they actually drop their teeth. I hesitate to give you time frames on this matter because it varies from shed to shed and as they get bigger.
 
I just observed my gatf trying to bite the lemon barb and much bigger silver dollars lol. Sounds like he is going to shed teeth soon.
