I wanna mix (2) 5inch Armatus with a 7&half gatf. what do you think? will it work or should I wait till the armatus are bigger? anyone done this with this size difference?

Im planning on mixing up the look of the tank to through the fish off like there in a new tank. should I take them out for a second as well or will it be too much for them in one day?
Please help. thank you!
 
anyone?
 
Someone posted pics of the result of a pairing that they tried and the Tigerfish had an ugly gash on its side.I don't rember if they eventually got along or not though.

I know it can be done, Ive seen this combo on youtube but im just not sure on the size tho. I know there both vary aggresive but Im just thinking the sooner I start then the better chance I will have wile there still little. like I said Im still just not sure on the size difference
 
right now I have the goliath in with (2) c. gibbis at 6 inch and he dosent mess with them. I was planning on swapping the gibbises for the armatus. since the armatus get bigger, aggresive and tends to hate on silver lower levelfish
 
The answer is no unless u want a pirate (one-eyed) GATF.

A smaller Armatus can take out a larger GATF anytime. Unless u have a big tank like 400G so that each of them can have their own swimming area otherwise a big no no !
 
the goliath has alit of gerth and still 2 or more inches biger. armatus stay near the ground were the goliath will stay mid to top of the tank.
