People were harshing a 12" atf, payara etc in a community setting. A well known and very knowledgable icythologist(sp?) even said that payara would outgrow a 300g.. They were basically saying a payara and atf will never be able to live together for long because when they're adults they won't tolerate each other. Made me want to break out the pic of that tank from taiwan li took, think that had a armatus/goliath in it..(I know these are reg. vitt, and red tail payara) And then someone went on to say something about ATF's attacking crocs in the wild..
I won't go into which site..
yeah really really wanted to show them these pics when they said they would never work in a community..

Just some people are more open to trying to be the exception to the rule and others just believe what everyone else says or what common sense would think.

Damn I just went over to that other site and did my thread ever blow up!!
I never once said that this will work 100% of the time for ever. Its like when I use to keep a mixed shoal of pygos (Caribe, natts, and piraya). Every morning Id wake up and do a head count cause yes alot of time people do it with success but sometimes it just doesnt work!
cichlaguapote, thanks for your help over there!

It might or might not work. You coud alway moveone to anothertank. Not a big deal in my opinion.
Here is a response ro Li to the pic of the armatus and gatf:
