exodons are not exactly big but they think they are. like the chihuahua of the fish world.
 
to get into large predatory species look into the end size of the monster not the size it is at the moment. be ready for it to grow fast if you feed it well. the bigger it gets the more it eats too. dont get into it if your not willing to go all the way.

thats just my opinion.
 
actually you could keep a armatus in a 55 for a year considering you get it at 1-3in and you feed it frozen foods. but once it gets big ask somone in your area if they want it for some cha-ching (dude a fully grown armatus is about 300$ in Cali.) but yea you wouldnt be able to keep it in a 55 for ever a 225+ would be great.
 
scomb maybe 3-4inches one and growth is slower that red tail...but u talking about armatus..NO way 55gl...armatus grow FAST..for armatus u gonna need atleast 100gl for a start if it's about 6inches..but better 180+gl if I were you.;)and price are way higher than scombs and redtail.
 
You people that can run out and get an Armatus at the drop of a hat do NOT realize just how lucky you are. I had $ in hand and still waited almost a year to have a chance at owning what is possibly the most kick arse fresh water fish in the world.

my armatus outgrew a 140 gallon in 7 months, and he started at 6 inches.

lemmie re do what i said armatus will but outgrow so fast i meant scomb ive kept my scomb in a 60 and hes doing fine and i got him at 3in and he only grew 1in over 3months i feed him tiny choped up salmon tank mates are:

1: golden oscar 3in
2: peacock bass (one tem thats only a 1in long and one mono only 2in long)
1: royal pleco 5in long
1: giant gourami 2in long ( FTW )
and lastley the scomb. (3 in long )

but strangley they never pick on the 1in temensis i mabey the just dont think of him as a food source since i never fed them live foods. but what do i know.

keep up the good work! scombs are hard to raise. prove the 12 inch mysterious death syndrome wrong!
 
If Spezio wants to try a lesser sabertooth ThatPetPlace has a tank full of the Scombs for twenty bucks at about two inches.I think they ship.
