My Hydrocynus Goliath SOBs

[IoStrisciare]

You need to get rid of the one that does not eat too much.....so send me the other one ....how much to ship to the U.S ...j/p


Seriously though....do you know if the place you got it from will ship state side ????

the aquarium does in fact ship to state side. But i don't know if there are any goliaths left.

The aquarium is one of the forum sellers here. Cichlids Forever.

there are 5 species in the hydrocynus genus, right? Forsalki (sp) is also another that seems to come in instead of goliath.

I am very interested to see what becomes of these guys!

all the other species are striped if i'm not wrong and have v diff characters compared to these 2...

much less timid than the normal hydrocynus.

can you post more pictures of them please, love to see the comparison with the vittatus, you should go pick some up to keep together!

They look like these guys.... got them from one of the sponsors f the forum...

These hydrocynus sp. also have no stripes, but they do not look like goliaths. In fact, they might be vitattus. But, like Clay said, I too am not an expert on classifying this fish while juvenile. How much did you pay for those ?

i will snap more pics of them as they grow.

As for comming them w other tigerfish i think tts a big no no...

already they're very aggressive among themselves. Don't think a jumpy species like vittatus can take living with them.

from an article i read, juvenile goliaths have a bluish stripe on the top of their bodies and faint stripes. Plus if u notice, these guys have a much more powerful built jaw than vittatus or brevis. Plus characterwise they are much more aggressive.

i paid like US$30 for one.

first picture are the ones I got in, labeled as Goliath, but are they, they are from the Congo though.

the second, I've posted before, is what I consider goliath, and sold in Japan as such, with a hefty price tag too

I hope you they get huge real soon.
