You used the wrong one for tanzaniae; I included that fish in that comparo as one to illustrate VATF. Sorry for the confusion. If you like, I'll help you find quality photographs of all five ATF species to use for the poster.

Oh, and the common names for the various ATF are as follows:

GATF- Goliath Tigerfish
VATF- Southern or Common Tigerfish
BATF- Sahelian Tigerfish
FATF- Nile or Elongate Tigerfish
TATF- Tanzanian Tigerfish

Interesting to note however that BATF can be found in the Nile and FATF can be found in the Sahel. Go figure lol.

As for your question earlier, B. hilarii and S. hilarii are different species. They are quite similar in appearance but different none the less. Here's a quick comparo picture I did for the ID thread:

Again, I'm happy to help with pictures of Salminus if you need it. I have a bunch of good shots archived. Those are much harder to find than are ATF pics.

Do you need Dorado pics? I have both Franciscanus and Brasiliensis. Could take some pics for you when I move them. They don't stay still enough in the tank to get any decent pics, at least with my crappy camera.

See the dorado sticky for pictures of all four dorado species, I feel the images I used there will likely work for you. The same could be said for tigerfish; reference the pics in the sticky. If they don't work for you, I'll try to dig something up.

I've been fairly busy with work lately.
