An island somewhere......
Here's a few pictures of some a few of my Armatus.... 8" is the smallest, 12" is the biggest!

Wow... I want those.

How is their personality? Are they a tough fish like a atf or skittish like a barracuda?
 
These were just transfered into a 6'x3'x2' tank with some Endlis...... all the armatus are off live and completely on smelt for the last 3 months! This Shoal was raised from 2" together without much if any aggression. (knock on wood)

Nice shoal! How is it going with the smaller endlis? Any aggression yet? Full tankshots?

There get skittish every now and then and begin to thrash! But now that they're in a larger tank with some tankmates they should mellow out. They were coming up to the surface to eat in their last tank.... hopefully they'll continue to be a little outgoing still.

I pulled the smaller Endlis out and put them on the other side of the divider... so far they're still pretty calm and liking their new tank. I tried taking a full tank shot but the flash caused an annoying reflection. Sorry....
 
Ah, I get the same problem with getting tankshots. No worries, its the stock/fish that I want to see anyways. :D

Keep us updated on the shoal.
 
That is some really nice pics of a really good looking shoal..... Hope the peace will continue.
 
nice armatus
 
Very nice. How many in the shoal?
