I still got my Armatus! Its a little over a year old and its creepin on 14-15". It almost died last year when it was about 6-7" when i moved it to another tank, but now its happily homed in a open 240g with just a Ornate Bichir.

LOL,definitely not the water..I do a fifty percent change only once a month.I feed him a rotation of shrimp,tilapia,or whatever fish is on sale at a good price at the market...@Karaig since yo are down in Fla. you should hit up Snookin...He is probably your best bet and should be able to get one for you or at least give an idea when they are available.

Krich, how long have you had your armatus now?
 
We saw these ones in Pheonix last Saturday. Definitely 24"+ monsters! I wish I could contribute more to this thread :(
