Would like few opinions from fellow ATF enthusiasts.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I honestly dislike the atf. For a couple reasons I don't have to get into, but of them I personally don't like their look. This one i gotta say is a beauty. Nice and shiny with great contrast. Price depends on how you want to market it, but I think you will get what you want for it. Great job.
 
Someone in Ohio last year was selling one at 15+ inches for $350. last time I talked to him he hadn't found a buyer... But I really do like tatf especially large ones. If one that price pops up around me again I might just have to get it...
 
I paid $950 for an 8 inch ATF in 1986!! I would not sell this fish if I were you... 3 years into it and all you will get is heartbreak because a bunch of people will low ball you without intention of buying it in the first place... If you do sell this beautiful fish.. first and foremost, make sure it is going to a proper home. The right person will come along and offer you what it's really worth.

He's still here. Getting bigger. Not sure what it is but this fish possesses quite the presence when standing in front of its tank. What a creature.

I had a 16 inch VATF before. Would pay close to 4 digit for a GATF as I have never kept a big one before. :)

Having said that, if you know a particular buyer will house and give the fish good TLC; maybe selling at a slightly below market price is not too bad an idea.

Was your Vatf a wuss? I've had a few and they simply can't hang with Tatf. Not as bad a Gatf but still not tough enough to cohab.
 
If I recalled correctly, it was housed with an aro, gar, armatus, flavican and tig.

Kept to itself pretty much but did have on and off chasing with the armatus. Took awhile to wean off live food and loved its massivores pellets. Not aggressive at all in my eyes.
 
That's a nice looking atf. How large is he now? I see you're resisting the temptation to put him in the 750.
 
I'm not sure I do want to sell. I consider this by far the most impressive Characin I've ever raised.

BUT I'm also not sure I trust this thing with Robert. I saw one of my wolves severed. While not 100% sure it was a Tanzy I'm thinking it was.... That one is smaller then this guy.

IF I go to the 750 with him -
By himself odds are in the Dorado, Armatus, and wolves favors as there's multiples.

Add the other 2 Tatf and it could be a disaster. Of all the toothy fish I've kept it seems none are as unpredictable as Tigers......
