I agree, ATF want to swim. They are built for speed, armatus will do better in that size and they grow alot faster which is rewarding.

ATF grows an inch or so a year. It's been a long and boring process for my brevis, and he sat so long in a big tank alone, it was just nose thumbing. Luckily, I had so many other tanks to keep me busy.

I don't think I could handle 3 man, but I will sure keep the word out for you to sell it.

I am looking for a vittatus if anybody has one, around 10", which will complete my searches.

"ATF grows an inch or so a year"? That's not at all true bro, They are very slow growers for sure. But 1'' a year would make my 15'', Well 15 years old. I'd say 1'' every 3-4 month's would be a better guess. My small Goliath is growing really good 3'' to 5'' in under 2 month's. Armatus are for sure going to out grow the ATF, though..

i would keep the armatus not the atf

i think u could pull off the armatus in a 300 gal longer. the armatus will grow faster but the atf will start bashing into the walls:irked:
i can have tankmates with my fatf for life , like the bangwe frontosa's i have in there with them, the armatus will outgrow everything and kill it, my fatf is swimming back and forth he doesn't seem sloppy like the vatf i used to have
 
plus i plan to put a strong current in that 300 gal whenn he hits like 8'' , i just dont want the armatus if it can't be succesful with tankmates:(

LFS has a fatty that fits the description, too bad we are an ocean apart. Many atf shipped in this size dont make it.

"... which will complete my searches." :ROFL:yea may be if we went to AA type meetings for MFK's.
