Oh trust me im not n expert by any means. Its just that goliaths have that distinguishable jaw that no other ATF have. BATF n FATF have only red on their lower fins n an underbite somewhat n a skinnier body. My only fear would b confusing a VATF with a TATF. But gettin a TATF wouldnt b the end of the world. VATF r pretty colorful n noticeable from other ATF.
I used to think fin colors was a key... I was wrong. There is a thread here by chihux (something like that Lol) with how to ID them. Goliaths are easy to seperate. To get a true VATF, its tough imo. This is why I say I question Aquascape's "VATF". Their ATF stock came in with the mass flood of FATF that was going around. I believe Wes knows what he has as he has shown proper ID in this section of ATF's. If you want a true VATF like my Avatar pic... pay the extra cash from Wes (you might get one with antlers!!). just my 2 cents.
G/L buddy
I personally don't understand why anyone would want a Vatf over a Tatf...... lol.
It was about 8 months ago that i got my gatf from oceans and seas for 125 and they had a vatf at the same time for 100
Maybe it dosnt happen all the time but they pass on the good price when they can

$100 or a VATF is cheap! I'd jump on that if I was in the market right now.
