what can I put with an ATF?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
young discus, I hate discus. LOL
 
You could sell him when he gets too big. If we all stocked our tanks according to the max size of our fish, we wouldn't really have much of anything.
 
'Noob' question here: When we are talking ATF, are we meaning Goliath or Vittatus? If it is Goliath, what in your guys' opinion is minimum tank size for Vittatus?

Should be vittatus....

I don't think anyone has a confirmed pce of goliath...

Vittatus? I've seen fish keepers in taiwan keep a 2ft specimen with an aro in a 4ft tank... i guess a 6footer should suffice...

2' in a 4' tank? maybe only for pictures, but I couldn't see that working for long.
Here's a few pics of my true Goliath and Vittatuses

i want one
do they eat aggressive?
 
They can get aggro as they bigger (12"+), but not usually too bad. The thing is they all have different attitudes. Most aren't bad, but if they decide to that route they can inflict serious damage quick!

Whoa....

nice collection of Tigers....

I love this fish but i've had plenty of bad luck with it unfortunately...
 
Yes, they are challenging at best and can be downright frustrating if the set up isn't just right (tank size and tankmates are the usual problem). I'll tell you though, when you get it right, they're hard to beat as far as ferocity in the hunt, speed and general appearance. :cheers:
