Very nice! What are they feeding on? Mine was very shy and skittish until around 10" He is now getting very outgoing and begging for food when he see's me approaching his tank.
I fed them with a type of feeder red in color readily available locally. Guppies this week, and Neon Tetra once(v ex).unknownuza13;1669752; said:
I am looking fwd to mine coming towards me during feeding time, but from the various posts, seems like even when fish reaches mid-size(9 to 12 inches), it will still b skittish and constantly knocks against the tank wall? Is that true?

I think there are a few factors that come into play. I'm sure the skittish level varies for each gatf. I believe tank size is a big factor. Ever since I put mine into a 240 gallon tank he has calmed down a lot. He doesn't bang the tank walls at all anymore. My number one reason for getting rid of a fish is because it is too skittish. I will not own a fish that will freak out if my friends want to walk over to the tanks and check them out. Up until a few months ago this is how the gatf would act. Even during feeding time I would have to throw the shrimp in and back away ten feet from the tank or he would freak. Give them some time they should calm down.

You mean, you already gave up and sold away your GATF? I also find it frustrating when you finally got a fish, but did not get a good time watching them kill and displaying their aggressive nature.
But their outlook still attracts me v much. I try to see if any tankmates will help, but still I am seeing many mid-size Goliath with damaged jaws, during banging against the wall.

Many are available at 3 inches and they grow very slowly, should not b an issue even if not enough room temperarily.
