Here goes the newest member to my tank family.
Hes about 8.25" and has a lot of anger in him. He keeps attacking himself at a 90 degree angle as he sees his reflection on my bare bottom tank.

[jlnguyen74]

Pics of my three Armatus and two Scomb... At least the Scomb gets along. The Armatus, on the other hand, divide their territory already :headbang2

[milokai]

here is mine...armatus

[West1]

Another pic with one of his mates :)
The left side must be his good side, as he doesn;t let me take pics of his right side :ROFL:

Here is another pic of my Red tail except this time with his new tank mate :)

Here are some pics of my Armatus.
I had to remove all the c/l's and my big redtail shark. The c/l's were always pestering the Armatus and I guess he got fed up and he shanked a c/l really good. It all healed up perfectly. I still can't get over the growth rate on this fish. If you can ever manage to own one properly do it you won't regret it 1 second. I've already noticed that it will cost to feed when it grows but is well worth it as they are true monsters.

[milokai]

18incher armatus:naughty:

[rk59]

in order to support this thread here is my armatus 14"

[rk59]

Hi Koen,

another one with tankmates for comparison. Enjoy it. I will post pics of the Panaque in another thread. :)

Cheers
Reiner

[rk59]

The Panaque is alive.:D In Germany we call it Panaque Royal Golden Thunder.

The other silver fish is Cynopotamus atratoensis. It works well for a few month but recently the Cyno lost one eye due to the attacks of the armatus.:cry:

My armatus usually is standing near the Cynopotamus or is swimming around in the middle of the tank.

(Sorry for the bad quality of the picture)

live tilapia and sliced fish bodies

dimensions is hard to say since it's kinda like a octagon shape. all i can say is it's big enough.

it's not my tank, it's ccdoido's

[marmot]

Here's the Armatus I bought off Jason. The first photo is (I think) the last night he was in Jason's tank, and the second is the first night he was in mine, before the back injury exploded.

[marmot]

Update:

[calisucks]

Here are some pictures I took of my armatus yesterday.

[channarox]

nice armatus!
heres some of my tat.
was playing around w the flash.:nilly:

[pwmin]

here is my pia tat that my sister calls "one-eyed willy", lol. there is a white spot on the back of its adipose fin that just appeared yesterday and I can't figure out what it is. i tried to take a pic of it, but I can't get a decent picture of it, let alone of the fish.

[milokai]

here are some pictures of my armatus about 20+inches living in 500gl. with tankmates. enjoy;)

I couldn't really get a good picture of these guys, just wanted to make sure they were scombs. It's definitely not a yellow-tail or red-tail and I know most of you can tell by the shape of the mouth what it is, so let me know, please.


Thanks. :D

[xander]

hey, i'm new to this website and i think its awesome. i wanna know if this fish is available in singapore? and how big will it grow? i'm kinda interested in this fish. help would be greatly appreciated. thanks! (:file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/ALEXAN%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-2.jpg

i know someone in sg with an armatus too:D
http://img48.imageshack.us/img48/6518/picture309rc3.jpg

i know a guy who's selling his 7"er for 500 bucks. too ex imo...14"er costs 700 only.

[OnceLoyal]

Here are a few the first 3 are the first little guy I got the other 2 pics are of the 2nd 2 I got today!!!

[vamptrev]

20 incher...

[xander]

if the adipose is not orange/red then it's scomb

[jonahonah]

if i get this right, armatus hardy but expensive and get big, tats not as expensive but hardy and dont get as big. Scombs easy to find but die easily.

[xander]

basically, yes.

[hybridtheoryd16]

The first is my still alive TAT that i have had for 3 month now. And the rest are of some 2 week scombs that i Have owned.http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o245/boostfeind_photos/u025.jpg http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o245/boostfeind_photos/5-28-08002.jpg http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o245/boostfeind_photos/aquarium194.jpg http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o245/boostfeind_photos/5-28-08005.jpg

Awesome fish guys.

Has anyone started a Payara League??

I seriously need one.

nice raph!

[DB junkie]

^ Thanks! Aside from Zoos I am having a VERY difficult time tracking down anyone that has grown them to much over a foot in the home aquarium. So I am going to hang on to this one for a while and see what happens. The Armatus don't really dig him, but the Odoes do.... They hang out together in the same corner of the pond.

you put him back in the pond?
and the armatus as well?

did you see that one pic with an 18 inch raph?
it was from a zoo i think.

[TheFishJunky]

okay so these look real mean but really aren't?I seen them with frontosa,bass,clowns etc in these pics in this thread-basically they're kool to have as tank mates with other aggressive fish of equal size?

armatus are the only ones that get very mean.
tats only occasionally.
by aggressive what do you mean?

[DB junkie]

He just left the pond to teach the Armatus, then went back in. He's too comfy in the pond. Started freeking out when I had him in the tank. Yeah I saw Trev's ZOO pic...... I just don't understand why these things are able to reach Armatus lengths in the wild but yet no one has a big one in the home aquarium...... I really need to find some more.

My Armatus are in the same pond as the Rhaph right now but the pond is divided. I'm trying to get my recently aquired 300 gallon up and going for the Armatus.......

yea.
always wondered why myself.
very strange isnt it...
maybe because no on bothers to take care of a raph as well as armatus?

cant wait to see the new tank set up man.

[DB junkie]

LOL..... The 300 gallon is the little one. I can't use the big one. The landlord would evict me.

I believe the Rhaph's skiddish nature is the reason no one keeps them. Mine is only 12 inches and freeks out in a 180.

[channarox]

you say only like its small. :grinno:

[TheFishJunky]

armatus are the only ones that get very mean.

by aggressive what do you mean?
by aggressive,I mean,will he eat everything else in the tank and/or fight with other fish of the same size?Are they good tank mates?

[channarox]

they generally hate anything silver.
but most i have seen work well with anything that is slightly smaller in size and not silver.
but there are some that kill anything in the tank.
best tankmates would be the slower moving ones IMO and bottom dwellers.

[TheFishJunky]

thankyou channarox

[orljdmh22]

mine got along ok with my barracuda's.....every once in a while they would go after the cuda......though silver "more appropriate sized" fish are definitely a bad idea - couldn't figure out where my exodons were going until i came home to this, im an idiot.

The silver thing doesn't hold near as true if your Payara don't eat live food..... The only fish my Armatus are housed with are ALL silver.

[orljdmh22]

he is probly about 7". he's is definitely a bit tougher to keep happy than the others. ive had them before and they seem to do much better with just their own - for me anyway. but he is doing ok with these 2, not as aggressive or as accurate of a hunter. ive probably had him about 6 months or so now, along with the others. i call him the short bus fish.....just doesnt seem completely with the program.

What? I'm an Armatus murderer.

But they DO all have smelt in thier bellies when they die.......LMAO. Always broke by 6 inches or less.

I am gonna go ahead and throw this out there now that I have another Armatus in the freezer.........

For those of you that keep multiple Armatus together....... Does ANYONE have a batch with NO eye issues?

I firmly believe in order to keep multiple Armatus together you MUST have a HUGE tank if you want to keep them in mint condition. My batch started getting fiesty at around 6-7 inches when housed in a 180. Now that they are in the pond they appear (from what I can see) to be a lot less "high strung" or edgy.

But I also have a huge gap in sizes. The biggest one is now about 2 inches over the other 2. I believe it eliminated its competition with a quick shiv to the eye of the competition. I guess I am partially responsible for not giving them adequate room. You guys have been warned. This could happen to you if yopu attempt to keep them in a tank that they feel is too small. How YOU feel is irelavent, you may think its plenty big..... NO matter, your fish will decide if it's too small. And WHEN they do this is more than likely going to be the result. The tank MUST be huge...... I can't stress this enough.

haha.
very true and well said.

[DB junkie]

Armatus are kinda like women......

While having a whole bunch might be great fun while it lasts, and you may feel great surrounding yourself with multiple beautiful jems, enjoying each and every one of them, in the end more than likely you will be left feeling terrible after a majority of them leave you and you are left with either ONE or NONE. That is unless you house them in an enormous mansion where they NEVER see eachother.

It is best to just keep one and take great care of it.

:)

Now IF I could only find a woman I love as much as an Armatus.

But unfortunately both Armatus and women leave me within the first few years.

LOL

:ROFL:... Just threw him in but was scared as hell!!!! Had no where to put him as the Dorado took his home:D. I put him in my sump but he didnt like it (to many bioballs). I fed the Armatus and tossed him in. Armatus just showed him who was boss and bumped him around. I added him 2 days ago and so far so good... the Orino is actually making the Armatus more curious about Krill:naughty:.
Armatus is the king of the tank (for now)... as the biggest fish just hides all day.... Jade Goby is no where to be found (stays behind the largest pc of driftwood)

[vamptrev]

how does your eat?

he hasnt been eating every day, and dosnt have any tankmates to compete w for food with. he dosnt get very aggressive w his food either... he usually just grabs his shrimp very calmly.

im thinkin of throwing some dithers in just for fun, but then again i dont want to introduce new fish w diseses and getting my leos sick...

i dont see vertical in the pics?
but yea,they will stand head down alot.
its scomb nature.LOL.

i took that pic one minute later put them in the tank.. but yesterday one of them was sooooo vertical.. i bought an oxygen pump and now it's ok :D

Red tails dont seem as fragile as the scombs, but I like the scombs because of there smaller size.
Who knows, maybe I'll just get a scomb and see if I can keep it alive.

I had no problems growing out my scombs in a 55. They were maybe 2in when I got them and 2-3 months later, they are big enough to put in my big tank with 4 rays and an 11in NGT among 4 other Dats from 5-8in! You just have to power feed them when they're small and do weekly changes and make sure the water is pristine. Its pretty simple really (100 guppies a week and let them pick them off as the so choose to). Don't worry about weaning them off of live foods until they are larger.

I HAVE NO IDEA Y I DID:irked:... my wife is not into fish (like I am) and she was even upset with me:D. I sold him dirt cheap at 13"... but he grew over night and arrived at 16.5":nutkick::wall::duh::uhoh::crazy:
And I ripped myself off more by not adding PayPal fee:nilly::screwy:
My son was DOA but told buyer it was at their risk.

I have no clue why I did such a STUPID thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im still kicking myself in the Arse for it. That is def one fish I will have again:naughty:... I dig everything about Armatus... the way they Eat, swim, look... everything!!! The onlything that is a negative is you cant have any prize fish with them:cry:...

It hurt so bad, I almost gave up on fishkeeping... but then shook it off:naughty:
I guess I got hit with the Cichla Blues for a lil:D

Here is an update on the two armatus I still have left. They're 16" maybe a little bigger. :)

im really interested in keeping more than 1 but a little skeptic since they are known to be very aggressive specially on their own kind.
