Someone made a post in my pics saying my armatus will kill my GATF.. Has anyone tried this combo and or have any opinions on it? Would like to know so I can try and sell or whatever I need to do with the GATF...
 
i had mine with a VATF and he tore him up. armatus dont like them because they always swim above them whare the armatus looks for food.(my opinion) u dont wanna mess with theyre supply.
 
Get a hold of R1 Ridah...........I know he has experience in this. I believe that Li has witnessed some tanx across seas with this combo as well.

Keep in mind though....everyfish is different. I'de give it a try yourself......if it doesn't work sell after the first shanking........If I remember correctly there has yet to be a case where the GATF wins........
 
My GATF are also like 6-7" where the armatus are like 4". I bought them together also where they all stayed in a 180 together for about a month. In my opinion with mine they seem to all school together and sit at similar levels in the tank. The GATF are losing some scales but I thought it was because of their skittishness, always running into the glass and stuff. I have never yet witnessed an armatus to GATf attack but guess ill just keep a close eye
 
it usually happens at night. thats when the armatus relly comes alive.
 
i think someone from singapore had them together with an aimara also and they were peaceful u should ask him. im gonna look for that post again and see if i can find it

Yeah saw that tank too! AWESOME!!! Had a bunch of tats, arms, a BIG aimara, bichirs, aro and a ray! Remembered all that cause thats what i wanted my tank to look like:headbang2 Think was in one of vamptrevs post...
 
Chris/Unknownuza13 has both and I think tried them together, you can pm him I guess or maybe he'll chime in..

I think normally they don't work together, but you never know maybe you're the one to do it. To be honest I don't know if anyones ever done a school of them together. For most I think have just one of each.
 
yeah, but that's a lacerdae not an aimara. Lacerdae's are usually much more peaceful wolves. Ashdavid has a couple of them cohabing with many other large fish including other lacerdaes and malas.
