so i notice you didn't bother to answer my valid point of all eggsack aros are the same. to answer you i have had all aros except asian. the only one i have not grown out was my afro aro, it got attacked and never recovered. asian aros are no different then any other aro except for the price tag. so there you go being a dumbass with your foot in your mouth making statments you know nothing about.
Responding to the posts on this thread is a complete waste of time because the thread starter is a childish tool and so are his cohorts.
You guys go ahead and bash me all you want because it means absolutely nothing to me...you're just a bunch of insecure, immature fools. I could care less what your opinions of me are.
In the end, these fish you're having so much trouble with (gatf, armatus, etc.) are ones I've kept successfully for a lot longer than you have. If you don't buy that, then check my old posts and photos. I don't need to toot my horn like the OP (although he has done nothing exceptional) but instead, I just enjoy my large, healthy fish.
So go ahead and mix whatever incompatible fish you want and dream they will become best buddies in your tank.
But when you get the same bad results, know that a lot of people are going to be laughing again.
And please make sure to post up your failures again...I can always use a good laugh!

To exoticfishguy, I'm pretty sure the only insecure, immature fool is you in this thread. Judging from your posts, you have less knowledge about keeping fish than sbuse.
Except of course he has demonstrated better results at keeping GATF alive and not try to create a shoal of these things in a 125.
The pacu was mentioned by myself. I actually will say that even though the practice is not sound, 3 pacus are going to live a lot longer in a 125 than 3 GATF.

and speaking of good laughs! you post all that....i have many many very large heathy fish. i also happen to have better growth rates on all my fish then 99% of people on here, but that doesn't really matter because your better right? i never have had a problem with armatus and the only "problem" i have had with my gatf was this fight. did i mention that my gatf have grow exponentially since i have had them? oh wait, it must be because i can't raise them successfully right? so a 3" aro into a 24"+ aro in 10 months is nothing exceptional.
90% of aggressive fish that get put into close prox to one another tend to get along better then in large spaces because there is no space to set up territories. alot of people don't like this style of tank setup, but it has work for me and many many others before. i may have just needed a larger tank setup, with more gatf witch will be my next attempt of this mix.
Ooo...This is gettin good! Get em Scott! Get em! 1chanc3, you have a valid point....If that statement wasn't complete smartassery....

It will work for fish like African cichlids where the fish's ability to do harm is rather limited...as I said before in a post, even if the aggression is diluted, what does a nip mean for GATF? In cichlids, an attack means a few scales and yes, if targets are many, the victim will recover and fight another day...how about the victim of a GATF nip?

nips are different from bites. all my research shows that 99% of gatf just nip. nips mean puncture wounds if they are anywere but the fins. seems that payaras do the same from my exp and research......not many full on bite. if they do this is the result. now gatf have the jaw strength to bite fish in half combined with their teeth. any fish that gets put in with these fish is at risk as it is a pred. now if exotics gatf were to say just destroy his tig, everyone would say wow that is to bad and leave it at that, yet i have it kill another tigerfish and i get attacked.(i looked through his "amazing" sales threads cause that all he is is a salesman that thinks he above everything) they are designed to kill and eat large prey fast due to the current were they are from. it doesn't matter what it is. if there are many it will have a hard time finding and placing a kill bite on one fish while watching all the other fish. in the end nips are different from bites, so you can't bunch the two together.
why do you thinlk fish like this are not bred in captivity? it is because people like you say that they can't be mixed and everyone follows like lemming. if it was not for people like me that go against the common belief we will never have fish bred in captive situations.
It appears from your own experience sometimes a nip is more than a nip and it only takes one hit.
As for why GATF not being bred in captivity, for one thing, the fish is not for everyone, it is not even for 1% of the fish keepers out there. So frankly it makes zero economic sense to do it commercially for the trade when the price of wc already droped to the current level. Frankly the best chance for success would be having a home in the tropics and throw a dozen of these things in a large lake or pond instead of trying to do this in a tank.
