what can I put with an ATF?

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.

yea...

i loved the way it could just capture your attention in the tank.
Like your very own great white. And the speed the fella takes its food is really amazing.

Damn.... feel like getting another...

The guy I got this one from says he has had vittatus before and he thought this one was aa true goliath,,he said he got it from George at sharkaquarium and it was sold to him as goliath.I'm not saying ti is but he sure is a gorgeous fish.His speed is blinding when he is really hungry.I had a couple of pleco's and 2 cory's in there with him and now all that is left is 1 cory and the rainbow has survived(for now).This guy is a wonderful fish to watch and a complete pleasure to own.i want to get a bichir to go with him and I might get a TSN later.ATF'S are very cool fish and I hope and pray that this one will be with me for along time.

'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?

for Goliath? consider a well-heated lake in the long run.

I wouldn't go that far, but at least 900g

I know Red Tail Cats get along with them. Granted, the catfish will always hide when the light is on but he will also help clean up after the atf.

or failing that, simply outgrow and eat the ATF
