armatus grows bigger,faster,and is the meanest SOB you'll find in the payara or pretty much the characin world.
scombs grow real slow.
when theyre like 1-3 inches theyll grow about an inch a mth.
then slow down considerably when larger.
maybe an inch evey few 2 mths.
a armatus grows much faster.
let the armatus owners tell ya.

Since you have a 100 gallon tank, try to find a Red tail... So far, I heard Scomb dies for no reason when it get bigger (could be urban legend, which I'll find out in near future) and Armatus will grow way too big for your tank, unless you plan to let me adopt him in the future 
Get a Redtail. Hydrolycus tatauaia. Somewhere between the two.
Armatus are expensive and get huge.
Scombs are fragile and can be a challenge to keep long term.
The Redtail is cheap, stays relatively small, does have some character and can be kept in a group.

Its that nobody likes to do their own research. They want answers right away.

In his defense I have only been able to use the search at around 50% rate over the course of the past two weeks or so. I get an error message half the time.

But.... that is also very very true and damn annoying.
Haha I didnt even know it has been down as I was just messing around. I do get kind of tired of seeing the same questions over and over, especially when the awnsers can be found stickied at the top or just a few threads down!
I was member here for months before I really started posting cause I could get most of what I needed from the search feature.
