I had both together for about 3 month my armatus won the all there fights and African tiger ended up dying from all the fights and the poor guy had a hole in the eye from the armatus fangs. Not a good combo to have together, it was an expensive lesson.

I can't keep a tigerfish alive past 14" to save my life. Armies More Hardy imo

Actually... Armatus are more hardy but they do NOT heal faster than ATF's. If you want to grow your ATF's beyond 14", you will need to 'teach' your tigerfish where the parameters of your tank are. Try pointing your powerheads right next to the front of your tank, this will create a flow that will allow your tigerfish to learn when to stop and not run into the front glass/plexi panel.

They both have their pros and cons. They both have very specialized care requirements that if not met will result in a dead fish.

Pick your poison.

Thanks for the advice. If I ever get back into them I'll definitely incorporate those tactics
