Goliath Tigerfish vs Vittatus Tigerfish

[1111Mike]

Sorry, new to the site and I dont know if this has already been posted...couldn't find much on it except a few things here and there. For those who own these, which would be a better buy?..the GATF or VATF? I guess from what Ive read is a vittatus has a nice yellow tail and stripes and the Goliath is more plain and has red tip of the tail? Does one grow faster than the other? Is one more peaceful than the other? I have two large tanks that I would like to have combined to at least a 300+ gal within the year and they would have a giant puffer, ft long shovenose, ft long arowana, ft long clown knife, stonefish, ripsaw catfish, ft long ossa knife....the only ones Id be worried about is my pignose puffer, upside down cat, scat, parrot fish, polypterus and headstander...the last four being 6". Im well aware of its reputation and I would love to own one. My local has Goliaths for 150 and Vittatus for 200...both around 4-5". So with all that said is there really a big diff?..one that stands apart from the other? I know the jaw structure is different between the two, does one show its teeth better?

Any advice would be great! Thanks

I would advise raising them out alone, due to their skittish nature & tendency to get eaten by most tankmates when juvie. Not much difference in personality though i think gatf are less aggressive towards eachother. If you want looks go for vatf or plain monster, go gatf, or just buy both. Goliaths got a huge jaw compared to vittatus they chomp their food up real good.
