Just wondering what you all prefer i get more...I know theres a size difference, so if i get the payara then is there anything else i could get with it without the payara's and other fish's max size sum isn't any bigger than a florida gar max size.
 
Tats are my all time favorite predator. But you have to be aware that they are slow growers. Around 1'' a year would be max. They are very peaceful to tank mates as long as the mate is to big to be eaten. Also they are a shoaling fish and do much better in groups.

A group of around 6-10 TATS is about the most stunning display of fish you can have in a tank.
 
Ya i'd probably be able to buy 2 for now, but if my jardini goes on a mean streak, then i'll be able to buy a FL gar too.
 
If you have a source for Tats right now I would sell a kidney to get as many as you can.

These fish are very hard to come by at decent prices and hard to come by even at really high prices.
 
i could get scrombs and armatus at the snap of my finger...But the tats rarely come in. which is about a few every couple of months. I will probably just get an armatus cause you gotta love them big ones.
