Im so jealous bro..... nice pickups

thanks bruce.
you need a tat.

Awesome!
Congrats

thanks leah!

nice man, real nice. I wish i could commit to an ATF of some description but they are jsut too big. And aren't from SA but i think i can make an exception for such a nice fish.

Kudos!

thanks man!
i wanted to do an all SA tank...but...
dont worry,we will all own what we want at some point of our lives.

nice tat! looks like u saved him from a bad home. nice pickup!

thanks trev.
i wouldnt say a really bad home.
the guy i got him from was a pretty experienced characin keeper.
he had 3 armatus...
but yea...hes got torn fins and scratches.
he'll heal soon.
but i gotta get him off live...

Nice combo, any concerns with pbass dining on the ATF?

this ones bigger than the pbass.
the last one was growing very fast for a VATF,2 inches in 2.5 months.
but he still couldnt keep up with the bass.
so i decided to trade him.

the TAT is a hydrolycus tatauaia.
the one that seems to swim in an angle with the red tail,hence the name redtail payara.
the VATF if the skinny one with the yellowish tail.

Very Nice!! I wish I could find a ATF the same size as my Armatus so I could put them together!

haha.
i would love to see that combo!

^^Vittatus African Tiger Fish. I am pretty sure Vittatus can get up to 2 1/2-3' in the wild but I could be wrong.
