The term is rather vague as it refers to at least three different fish.If there is a fish in a store that has such a label that you are contemplating,you will probably have to take a picture and post it in the characin section so that it can be identified.The store people probably dont know exactly what it is either.Most of the fish under this name are usually peaceful toward other fish as long as they cannot eat them but they can reach at least a foot in length if you can keep them alive long enough.Only one of them,the Armatus,grows really fast but they cost a pretty penny.
