This guys about 2-1/2" and is labelled as an armatus. Can you guys give me input on whether it truly is or not because it is really small. Thanks

wait till it's bigger. Better pics of the pectoral fins?
 
I haven't gotten it yet. It's in an ad on Craigslist but the price seems too good to be true for it to be an armatus. Unfortunately I can't get a better pic. I just want to make sure its actually an armatus before I buy it

It could be either a tat or an armatus. Too early to tell. You can know the difference by the adipose fin color or the position of the pectorial fin (new theory).
 
I just bought what was supposed to be a red tail at that size and looks just like that, but I feel like it could be an Armatus... I think it's too young to tell.
