Just sharing a few pics of my Payara...

I had 3 Armatus 13"-14" until I lost one on Friday. For some strange reason he must've gotten spooked and run into the side of the tank. K krichardson bro, I thought I made it pass the point of them getting spooked this time. Anyway here are a few pics of the 2 remaining Army's that I have. Sorry in advance for flooding with all the pics, lol.

Your payara are amazing! Very beautful fish. Your making me one want, maybe I'll give one a shot. If I can keep saltwater, I may just may be able to keep one of these guys or a schomb.

I missed this post earlier but it is so true in most cases.I tried my hand at them on three separate occasions with the third being the most successful.I had vowed that it would be my last armatus no matter the outcome and I must admit that it has been a little tough keeping my word.

Yes, I remember you saying that when I lost the first 2 I had last year. I decided to give it another try. I still have a long way to go, but I dedicated to getting atlas one of them 20" +.

Thanks for the kind words. They are great fish to just sit and watch. The larger they get more exciting.

Yeah, I definitely agree with you, but when I see larger specimen that some hobbyist are able to get to 20"' plus, it really makes it worth trying to keep them.
