GOT ARMATUS??
- Thread starter keepinfish

Armatus are skittish, when they get skittish they can scare the gar into breaking it's back. Mine are with a couple of tropical gars.
Get them used to seeing light and people so they're less skittish when you turn the lights on or walking towards the tank
Good luck with him

That's why you should keep an eye on the Indo. The Armatus won't stand a chance with the Indo.
What did you think? 
it seems i have been told from everybody that this armatus will kick arse... and that the armatus would take shots at the indo and the fronts. So far i have not seen anything actually take shots, but you can tell that the indo is very stable and checking it out and on guard at all times.

People have been giving you wrong information! Armatus looks tough, but they aren't that tough. They only tough to their own kind. They got their arse whoop by a Feifeng (Flagtail), a black arowana, an African arowana, a datnoid, eaten by a stingray, and the list goes on and on.... They can only jab, but can't throw a real punch! The type that makes "million dollars move, and penny finish!"
Just don't want you to lose a nice fish.

Trev probably meant the Armatus is going to be the centerpiece of the tank
One punk from the dat, and your Armatus eye goes bye-bye! My 6" Indo chased my 12" Armatus anytime he wanted

LMFAO....
FINALLY someone that sees eye to eye with me.
I can personally vouge for the Fei Feng beating the crap out of an Armatus. I can personally vouge for Datnoids and Stingrays KILLING Armatus. Also saw a Gar nearly rake out an Armatus eye.
But who wants to listen to the guy with 7 on ice.....
Maybe you should listen to the guy with 20+ (Sorry JL, but it fit)
