VATF settled in the 520 gallon.

Super Nice Buddy! Does he twirl in circles while eating all the massivore?
I miss my boy when he would show off and go from zero to 60 then hit the brakes on the other side of the tank!
Looks beefy... 11" or so?
 
Wow thats an AMAZING difference between September and now! How big is he now, 8-9"?
Thanks, He looks to be somewhere between 9" to 10". Sits in the middle of the tank so it's hard to get a measurement.

Thanks, Yeah he goes from one end of the tank to the other at lightening speed picking off the massivore. He has to be fast as the pbass are crazy fast at grabbing the food.

That's really good growth rate. What would you say he gains per month?
Hard to say as all I can do is get a guesstimate his size but since he started eating pellets he has had a growth spurt and now he has kind of slowed down a bit. Pellets sure make a difference in growth as I have 2 azuls that have about 6" difference in size and the bigger one eats pellets and the smaller one just eats frozen.
 
thats funny, mine zips around too, grabbing pellets.... quick bursts of speed its amazing... mine really started to get thick at about 11-12 inches.... beautiful fish and tank, keep us updated!

Not much color in this guy so I am wondering if it may be a TATF instead of a VATF. He is constantly getting harassed by my big Azul. I hope I don't wake up one day to a tiger fish in the mouth of an azul!

 
He looks like a vittatus to me. The lack of color is likely because of the harassment by the pbass combined with the white substrate.
 
very nice collection.
 
Be careful man, as far as the bass goes ..... if he's got the ATF shaken then the ATF will most likely stop growing and then the bass will eat him .... that's almost a guarantee, I've had it happen and it sucks ... just giving you the heads up before its too late cause he is a beautiful ATF
