Armatus and more

[West1]

I think it's tat now,i compared with my armatus yesterday...

Ganna wait till the price drops to 2"Tat... then ganna stock up on a couple more
I still think the spot behind the gill plate is speaking Tatlanguage
But the back fin is saying "my arse, I look like Armatus"

i think the ones with the patterns are the tats judging from a pic of a small tat.
the ones without are armatus.

If it's too good to be true 99% of the time it is.Well I was on top of the world there for a day.....LOLMaybe at least if nothing else this will just show what kind of interest there are in these fish and we will end up seeing them imported on a regular basis.... And if we're lucky the price will stay the same LMFAO.

Hopefully the price will drop to a firm $50.00 for true Armatus @2"

well,maybe some will be lucky and get armatus from the batch.

Don't think because the price it's too good to be true. Rich has brought in a whole host of other exotics for crazy cheap prices. I still say Buy Buy Buy...

i think there are both species mixed in the group. there are a couple that looks like tats here, and one or two that look like armatus. time will tell!

I was gonna say that.. but what are the chances they plucked 2 different kinds out of the river..

probably very possible.
but im not sure where tats are from though.

if it's an armatus .... great .... if it is not, it was well worth the gamble and you still have a fish, something tangible....

if 50 dollars is so much that some of the folks here who bought some of these fish, no offense but maybe you shouldnt be risking 50 bux on such a small fish to begin with, knowing that it could, god forbid, die on you...

not trying to defend anyone here but I was told the same thing when i first know of this deal...

1. they are collected from the same river as the armatus that were previously sold
2. too small to identify 100% armatus or tat
3. NO PROMISES that they are all armatus...like WES said...some could be dats, too hard to tell
4. if you want to wait and let rich grow them out before he price the armatus accordingly, then wait...save the 50 towards the NEW armatus price if they turn out to be real armatus...

I find it funny that some ppl have buyer's remorse and try to discourage others from buying or being sarcastic about what they think was an impulse buy...

folks, you all went to rich's house to pick these up...you saw them with your eyes and picked out the ones you want...why not just wait and see what you really got in YOUR gamble instead of justifying your impulsiveness or buyer's remorse...

i got some and you know what, if they are armatus, great and if they are not, oh well...more fish to add to my small arse tank hahahaha

everything was disclosed up front so let's just see what we all got in a month or so...that is if i dont kill mine first hahahahaha

probably the most sensable comment here...it's a 50 gamble folks...not bad considering you have a 50/50 chance you will end up with a 300 fish at the end and worst case...you end up with a 50 tat which is not a big deal...
