Hey everyone, I finally got a Payara(not sure which exact species), I have him in a 125g grow out with a baby alligator gar and albino silver arowana and plenty of feeders.

Any pointers on keeping these guys?

TIA

My only concern would be the ali gar as that thing will grow very fast and be a risk to the armatus

Other than that I would personally not be adding feeders and just put the effort in to get them all feeding frozen foods its not difficult and makes life easier moving forward

Armatus strike stuff that goes in to the water so perhaps try feeding frozen foods in the flow and eventually he'll take it and once they do they dont stop

How long will they stave before eating anything?
