GATF and Armatus Compatibility<--Call any experts for advise

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Yeah you need atleast 3-4 Armatus to scare off the GATF from attacking him, A small school of fish with fangs should be enough to scare the crap outa any fish.
 
I've seen it done, a Chinese friend of mine has a GATF, H. vittatus and H. armatus all in the same tank, the GATF was around 60cm and the armatus was around 40cm. In fact, they lived in harmony, no scars at all.

Yeah, You don't always need a group of Armatus but you are taking a risk doing that, I mean an Armatus is an Armatus and a African Tiger is an African Tiger two of the most prized fish you can keep in the hobby, I would not take the risk but it's you're choice.
