Armatus picture thread!!
- Thread starter JD7.62
- Start date
this was my first one when i first got him. im tryin to find the date i got him, so we can see how fast he grew.
i found it. i got him in may 2007. i just measured him he is over 15 inches. so he grew about 10 inches in 8 months
This is a pick of mine after getting home from the airport with it. Battery for comparison is a AA. Had to keep it divided from the other Payara cause it was quite literally small enough to easily be swallowed.
The only thing I have not got mine to eat yet is pellets and nightcrawlers.
He does eat market shrimp, freeze dried krill, smelt chunks, silversides and of coarse feeders. Has even taken to picking food up off the bottom rather than just while it's falling.
Aggression towards the other Payara was believed to be minimal. This was before it snatched one of my redtail's eyes. Unfortunatley there was no warning.

Mine came from River Wonders. The only vendor known to bring them in besides Shark Aquarium. Yes it's true Armatus. I knew this from day one...as it is very easy to tell when it's swimming with Tats. But there was a lot of skeptics......
You tell me............
You tell me............
I didn't even know what these guys were untill I had a chat with vamptrev...
I'm now a big big fan of them...
if I ever have a big enough tank, I'd be getting some of these badboys!
Loving the pic's of everyones. cracking fish, more pics pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee
PS.
Can you guys share some general knowledge about these guys, how big they get, diet, what they can live with (that won't get murdered etc), how big a tank dop they need etc etc.
Would be great to learn more and seems like a lot of mfk'ers would love to know more too
