I am looking to buy about 5-6 ATFs and was wondering what size tank i should get, if i was to get that many?
 
Welcome to MFK!!!

Seeing as Hydrocynus vittatus reaches 40" and is a high speed open water predator, you should be able to squeeze them somewhat comfortably in a 2500gal tank. That's provided the tank is shallow with a large footprint. Figure 36" tall by 12 feet diameter should help in keeping 6 adult ATFs from ripping each other up.
 
You should be good for a few years in a 700 gal .
