do juvi armatus still come in yearly? i know a yeaor two ago the market was flooded with juvi's but havent seen much lately. is therea certain time of year they usually show up?
 
For the last 2 years my Lfs's were packed with scombs and then a few tats would trickle in. But they have yet to be able to get the first one in this year.

I do not know what has happened to the payara market as a whole but for me it seems as if it has disappeared.:(
 
How big a tank do you have for them, I like tats over scombs if you have the option.

I have yet to have a problem with my scombs or tat, but have never had an armatus but want one bad!!!
 
As long as you can support the live diet and do not mind having that 400g tank with one fish in it, then go for the armatus.

That tank should be able to support a armatus up to around 20+ inches. If it were me it would there for life.

If you want tank mates then get 10-12 Tatuaia. You will not be disapointed etheir way you go.

does anyone know of a source for juvi armatus willing to ship international? thanks.
I was thinking that you would have at least as good a chance of finding some over there as we would here but I guess not.International shipping if possible will be astronomical.
