Slow growers,definately not one inch per month,mine was not aggressive.You should have plenty of time for the ATF in that tank.They are more likely to be bullied than be bulllies at that size so be careful with poential tankmates.

Someone here tried it and they provided pictures of the tiger with a chunk missing out of its back.

Yeah,but I can't remember who the member was.

i see dam thats a shame

 

[channarox]

yes and no.
i know a few members who lost ATFs to armatus,and also some who kept them together fine.
but whenever i see them together theyre always larger individuals over a foot long.
ATFs grow real slow...think 1" in 3-4 months.
thats why armatus easily outgrow them.

oh armatus should be smaller when i have an ATF
