I have been thinking on adding GATF to my collection. I do have a large tank with 3 (6-7") Armatus and 10 (3-4") Fei fengs at the moment.

I was thinking on adding the GATF to the armatus and fei fengs tank, but I am not too keen on the idea of adding a GATF with 3 Armatus and 10 fei fengs.

If I put 1 single 4-6" GATF with 5 (3-4") Fei Fengs in a 180, would I be dealing with any aggresion issues ?

All of my fei fengs pretty much kept to themselves. I figure they'll be a good dithers to the GATF.

If not, any idea on slow growing fish that I can mix with a single GATF in a 180 ?

Disclaimer: The 180 is simply a GROWOUT. I am aware of their tank requirment. if you want to educate me on GATF or Armatus tank size, keep your opinion to your self.

im don't really know anything abotu GATF's, but having kept fei fangs they are not the toughest or fastest of fish, and if placed in a tank with aggressive fish, they will likely become beat up.
 
Actually, fei fengs can be very very cruel and mean. They look all innocent, but they are an aggresive species nonetheless. My old 16" fei fengs beat the crap out of 24" black aro.

I wanted to know if the shoal of fei feng can calm a GATF down or making it worse.

When my 3 armatus are in one tank to themselves, I saw a lot of aggressions, as soon as I added 10 fei fengs, the aggresion dies off other than a little "nudging' here and there.
