Identifying baby goliath tigerfish

[Cowturtle]

The store I work at has what our supplier is calling goliath tigerfish. I just want to confirm that's what it is. I may have to get him. One pic was slightly edited to make it look more impressive. While the other and the video show more what he looks like in person.

It isn't. It is Vittatus-esque. Grown up to be more colorful, easy to keep, very aggressive on its own though.
Baby GATF has big pliers-shape mouth which is very noticeable when you seen one. Also, its body has silvery color.

Not mine, but mine used to look like this when I got him. See the differences?

Alright thanks I wasn't sure if they grew into the mouth shape or not.

I wanna say vatf but the stripes aren't very bold. Then again there can be variation.

In person the stripes are almost nonexistent.

I'd say tatf but went for a refresh apparently they're absent from the hobby and what we thought were tatf are cf "big eye", that'd be my next guess since their stripes aren't so pronounced, or maybe I'm over looking the others. Let me refresh some more lol

What do you think C Chicxulub
Im counting two scales between then LL and pelvic fin
Stripes are faint
Adipose mostly black then a little clear
Safe to rule out batf and fatf I think. Def not gatf. Not tatf according to the sticky (I want more info on tatf not being in the hobby lol like how did that become concluded? What were DB's "tatf"? How are you sure?)

For me it's down to the vatf variants in the sticky though the stripes still throw me off, but the tatf DB had barely had any from what I remember when smaller atleast and again they are the big eye vatf so that's my guess

Thanks for the response. What's the reasoning to rule out brevis? On young ones that's the closest I've seen to it.

There's a customer interested in this one so I'm gonna pass on him but we're gonna roll the dice and get another one in later this week. I'll probably take it no matter which species shows up.

These guys remind me of my FATF. They’re thin with an underbite and the stripes aren’t as prominent. Also I think it has 2 rows of scales between the lateral line and the pelvic fin. I’m leaning towards FATF.
