DIESELMACK;690240; said:yeah I noticed the thickness of the armatus's teeth...If these scombs keep my interest I may move onto some redtails as I do like the look of them...but maybe I will drop some bills and talk to george on an armatus. I have a lot of bass stuff going on right now so I am kind of limited with my bigger tanks, so the smaller guys are a bit stress-free for me right now as I dont have to worry about fitting them in somewhere when they grow as they can stay in the 150 for a long time.....but you know how things can change if you get that fish bugI will end up buying some more sooner or later...lol
Yea, I picked up a few Redtails sometime ago but could not see any result of growth. They kept eating and eating but no sign =-( ..... They do get big. However, feel that the growth rate is not as fast as the Armatus. I remember when I first saw Woodysun's Payara I believe it was mentioned that it was a Redtail and the growth rate was fast. After looking at the pictures now, I believe what he has is an Armatus. You can see the White Stripe at the end of the tail. Common to Armatus's. See below..
