I was told that Armatus are prohibited in Florida, Is this true if so that is just plain terrible. The FWC has gone too far if I can't get my Armatus. :nilly::nilly::nilly::cry::cry::cry::cry::nilly::nilly::nilly:
 
If the tanks you own are the ones in your signature, you won't be able to keep them anyway.

People tend to underestimate their needs..

No I'm getting my 125g in two weeks tops sooo I'm looking into Armatus.
 
Looks like you are in the clear as I did'nt see it on Florida's list.The closest thing on the list looks to be the Trahira which I think is a common name for wolf fish?.....I agree with Flamenco though,Armatus will need as much tank space as you can afford to provide.The 125 will be a good start as a growout tank.

Correction: Picking up a 150g this weekend. :headbang2:headbang2:headbang2:headbang2
 
The bigger the better.
 
just some food for thought- my armatus outgrew a 150 gal in 8 months
 
My favorite LFS in Tampa sells scombs, so I assume no
