I ordered a "goliath bird eater" but instead i was sent something diffrent,at first it was very unresponsive i practicly had to force it to move into its new enclosure. The next morning it was on the side of the cage,and was extremyl aggressive and would attack anything even when i breayhed on it. Its about 4 inches in length. Please help me find out what this tarantula is.

Hello
I keep a lot of different species,from the looks of it since I see tiger stripes I'm thinking it's an Asian old world and would suggest not tampering too much since a bite from these can be nasty. I would also suggest taking a better photo in safety for an ID,since at the moment it's barely visible. If I had to judge by what I can see,I'd say haplopelma.
