Could it be? O_O"

Nice! Like asked a bunch before. You break it off feeders yet? You should have no problem at that size and yes, that is definitely an armatus. A tat would not get that big that fast and the adipose fin matches the tail on tats. Not on army's.

No, and I am not planning to break it off from feeders.

It's going to be goldfish > small minnow > medium minnow > large minnow > pike minnow > shad > then maybe culling koi

I want to see it to hit 20" in the first year, 30" in the second and 36"+ in the third!

indoor pond for the 30 inches? I thought you didn't have room for this armatus lol.

Haha that'll be badass! It seems like the most massive armatus are always in japan and I always see their tanks FULL of feeders. Hope he gets that big!

Because during that time I didn't have a good job, so the future of the fish is unknown. (huge fish tank + live feeders cost a lot!!!!)

Now I got a decent job, when it becomes permanent, I will move to a bigger house with a 96" x 36" x 30" tank for the 30"+ fish!

For the time being, a 180G tank will do!

water is in, sump is running

feeders are in for cycling

should be ready for the armatus to move in soon!

Got any pics of him in the 180g?

I am not sure if the three polyterus (2 weeksii, 1 teugelsi) spooked him at night or maybe he doesn't use to open tank design. He just stay at the corner for most of the time now.

I just added a small goliath tiger fish, I hope it will boost the armatus' confident of swimming around! Also, I hope it doesn't get eaten overnight because it is only 2/3 of the size of the armatus and the polypterus

Nice thread and fish man.

thanks!

Last pic ~ full tank shot

/update

1) I need to redo the background! O-O"

2) The Armatus constant rubbing its nose, so it's kinda crap up at the moment!

3) Size comparison between the Armatus and the GATF
