There's an 18inch armatus available 1200USD there bouts. I'd get a smaller one but these come far and few between here. I've never seen an armatus. this one came from taiwan.
currently builiding a tank big enough to house it and other monsters. water volume is 9.5' w x 7.5' d x 8' h net filter systems.
I'm pretty sure this thing will eat my other fish. Hoping I am wrong though so will open a discussion.
Have some different sized vitatus/goliaths. The small 5" forget it. but i have some that are 8 inch, one that's 15inch, and the goliaths are 10 inch. one black and one silver arrow about a foot or so.
The other fish, (tats/scombs/cudas/dorado/ all around 6-8inch, I do have space to grow them out first...
My intentions are to mix barracudas, tats, scombs etc. Add things like Pbass, rays, plecos later - as many species as possible.
If the armatus puts this cohab goal at risk, rather not have it.
If the armatus will eat any of my current large sized stock, rather not have it.
If the small 6-7" tats/scombs I have now are anything to go by, they can swallow feeders half their size...
so in order to have, say... 87% success rate, would the tank mates generally need to be at least 10inches or bigger?
oh and don't know the history on the fish, whether it's been kept solo or with tankmates...
