I have been growing out a VATF up to put for months.
He was about 5in when I moved him up to the big tank. someone swallowed him whole overnite:cry: But cant tell who, since I fed them alot the night before. None of them are acustom to being fed live food.

Who do you think ate him?:popcorn:

6in Datnoid
6in Redtail
7in Ornate bichir
8in Lima shovel nose
 
Ornate, I have a close bro that had a Ornate eat a Goliath ATF around the same size. Sorry for the loss!
 
I think the only one that wouldn't have is the Dat. Any tankmate with RTC is food unless it's 4x's the size
 
RTC is a pig and growing faster than other tankmates. I have notice him try to bite any fish that swims near him when hes hungry which is all the time.

The Dat eyeballs other fish and has the mouth and speed to do it, but really hasnt much interest in tank mates otherwise and I have had him since 2in.

The ornate will bite anyone when it comes to food, but otherwise shows no interest in tank mates and I think would have a hard time catching the VATF

The lima defenitely has the mouth and appetite but no real interest towards other fish

Someone is moving out.......... before one of my other fish get eaten. I really like my dat and bichir. I think the RTC and maybe the Lima are going.

Thanks Guys
