Mad Max the GATF and Chicxulub's other ATF
- Thread starter Chicxulub
- Start date
My ultimate goal is to have all five ATF at adult sizes in a ~16 x 6 tank when I'm out of the Army.
We'll see how that comes along. Next step is a 4x8x2 growout and getting the last three species! VATF and FATF will be easy, but brevis seems like it will be about as hard to find as the damn TATF.
Now brag it to every one in the Other characin forum! I'll bet payarakeeper is gonna be jealous!

Oh I will.
Wouldn't surprise me TBH. I did caveat that I figured there were probably some out there, but in about a year of searching, I wasn't able to find evidence of any. :/
I'm glad we know what these are now, though. It feels good to have hopefully truly contributed something to the community.

This video shows the little tatf running around zapping up guppies. He wouldn't take dead and at 2.75" I figured he was too young to starve, so I gave him what he wanted. The guppies were small enough that he could swallow them whole so there is a disappointingly low amount of drama in this vid. Starting at about 0:45, you can see the head of a guppy in his mouth.
Edit: he ate six or seven guppies tonight. The guppies wouldn't hold still long enough for a proper count...
