Post your New Armatus Juvi Pics here

[DB junkie]

Anyone want to venture to guess how long it takes to get a Tat the size of a quarter to 7-8 inches? My pics are at 2.5 inches.Absolutly no freckles whatsoever.

Armatus with proper tank size I say you should be able to get to 3 foot. Wild they get 4. You'll easily see them over a foot within the 1st year. They need LOTS of room though. Some will say they'de be fine in a decent size tank (2 foot wide) like say a 180. I don't believe that. Mine wanted out of its 180 by the time it hit a foot.Tats if you do some research you'll score a few pics of tank raised 16-18 inchers. These are across seas. To MY knowledge the biggest one I have heard of here in the states was just barely over a foot. They grow stupid slow. If you can muster 1/2 in per month out of them you are running with the best of em. I definetly believe with patience they are not tough to get to that 1.5 foot mark. BUT it's probobly gonna take many many years. But plus side with Tats is you can easily keep a shoal together whereas Armatus are usually loners.
