Help I.D. this Payara

[krichardson]

Thanks again for the info..

Glad to be able to help and I have no doubt you will take good care of the fish.You might come to really enjoy it....I can't speak for what is available in your area but I don't recall seeing many Scombs for sale that were much bigger than that one in this area...most I've seen were smaller.

I had 3 scomb's and absolutely loved them. They don't have the personality that armies and tats have but I still really enjoyed feeding mine and watching them swim around the tank. They are extremely skittish though so just be aware

Agreed on all points.I couldn't keep them with my armatus due to their slow growth.They would eventually wind up as food.

Aw.. I was just thinking bout adding an armatus..
Guess not

The armatus will very quickly outgrow the scomb and then it's most likely all downhill from there.

I had a 10" Scomb. Awesome fish.

Omg!! So the stories about them dying at 10" are true after all..
Should I keep it or sell it off then? Hate to lose a $80 fish for unknown death..
