Help Needed to Identify Genus of my Africa Tiger Fish

[redeyeraj]

Hi All,

I recently acquired two African Tiger Fish one is supposed to be a Vittatus & the other a Goliath, but im not so sure now after reading the MFK African Tiger Fish Guide

African Tiger Fish (Hydrocynus) ID and Care Guide 3.0

A Guide to the Care and ID of African Tiger Fish (Hydrocynus) 3.0 2.0 update- complete rewrite for both readability and depth of information. 2.1 update- minor updates to Suggested Reading. 2.2 update- Sweeping format changes, updated data that's recently become available, reduced image count...

Interesting, I know nothing about tiger fish but one looked to have a different tail shape to the other as well as a shorter head/space between the eye and the jaw to me?

funny thing is after reading the guide for atf I was even more confused. What should I be looking for when selecting a gatf

I am no expert but neither look like a young Goliath as they always look a more shiny silver. They look like my Vittatus did when it was young which also got confised with Forksheli

Aren't all African Tiger Fish the same genus (Hydrocynus)?
