VATF: How long would it last?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
ATF! ATF! hahaha my addiction started with an ATF .. back in the mid 80s!!!
Lmao you guys are bad influences!
I'd much rather find a FATF, at least it would have a future that doesn't cost me an arm... if I end up with a VATF i'm sending you two the bill :P
 
Looks like the order I canceled yesterday for the VATF didn't get cancelled after all.

I think you two bring good Karma!

(Did a price querry for a few fishes too, including a brassie and my dear dear pleurophthalmas, crossing fingers!)
 
More pictures to entice you. :D

FATF (I think they are beautiful even with less colours). The pronounced underbite gives it a more menacing look than other ATFs.

You Sir are the devil incarnate. :D
Five hours to know if they received it, 9 to get it if they did!
Might need to buy a few feeders in case he doesn't like fish filet... (Amazingly enough, all of my fishes are on dead alternatives! Except the Dat that nibbles some frozen, but will fill his belly only if it's live artemias...)

Dear lord, it arrived, it's cute as hell but... it's 2 to 3 inches :O
If I drop that into my main, the odoes are gonna relentlessly chase him and the Ery might just take a chunk out :(
It's in my 30g for the time being, need to get him to eat ASAP so he can take a few cm and join the gank, cause I want my monster up and running!
 
I read from here that Odoes are ruthless towards young ATFs.

Doing the right thing by growing it separately.
 
I added the VATF to the comm last friday, right after adding a hundred feeders to keep the odoes busy while the VATF gets used to the water...

My strategy proved to be very efficient, once it got swimming, he got chased a few times, but a week later, I've never seen a fish as active, and he's already eating frozen artemias (he tried chopped fish filet, but seemed to find it not worth fighting with the little pieces too big for him xD).

I am thrilled, a week in the comm and he's already my favorite fish!

Red Aimara Red Aimara and vincentwugwg vincentwugwg , you guys are my heroes ;D
Best advice I've ever had (though, probably against a few fish keeping rules but oh well).
I am enjoying every bit of it and have not been this excited in fish keeping since the day I filled my 180 for the first time. :)
 
Sounds great man. I am happy that it worked out for you. If I get a large tank one day I can drive and catch some atfs from the wild :D

Well in that case, once I know what happens with the house, you may become my new best friend! xD
