Any other scat/argus keepers?

I recently got a green spot, red spot and silver scat growing out in my 55...and dang, what neat fish! I'm really surprised to not see more people keeping them, so I thought I would ask...any other fans out there?

They are just...perpetually happy. I've never seen a fish wiggle around like these guys. They see me, come to the tank and wiggle with joy. Makes me laugh. Love it.

Photos please? WOuld love to see some others!

I'm glad you said "growing out", because they get BIG & are messy eaters & giant poop machines!

What monster fish ISN'T? lol

Yes they have a 150 waiting for them, but they are so small right now I'm keeping them in the 55 until they need it.

i have a school of 6 (5 silver, 1 green) they're 5" long and live in my 150g freshwater catfish tank. have to be one of my favorite fish, but one of them is picking the fins off my 16" lungfish (my absolute favorite fish) they do seem to meet you when you walk in and they're quite sociabe and have a huge appitite. i need to teach them to lay off my lungfish though...

I've noticed my green seems to be a picker....it picks on the silver constantly, but the silver seems to care less as he still follows the green everywhere. She doesn't bother my dragon goby or columbian shark at all though.
