Vittatus and tankmates? Calling all Vittatus keepers!!!!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I currently have a new 3" vittatus as well and he is kept with my 4" scomb. I have a Aro and a yellow tail bar in there with him. They all get along fine but I agree with previously said, payara only a inch bigger eating our tigers. Its a scarey fact. So I usually try to load my tiger and progress the growth in him so he isn't the most expensive dinner I ever bought for my fish. The way my payara looks at him is a curiosity I don't want to realize. I'm looking at giving up my scomb to another tank, giving it a month, and then putting in a 3 inch armatus.

Don't be surprised one day to be missing your VATF and your scomb has a fat stomach...:cry::ROFL:
 
I have had nightmares about it actually! That's an indicator to get the guy his very own tank!!!

mine is smaller and has proven to hang with fishes his size i have him with a pair of sabertooths a dat.. so far he is the boss from time to time i also think it was a B.A.D. investment he look awesome do

Do your dats pick on the payara!? Mine did. Those fish are quite the secretive jerks
 
Your telling me that your dats killed your pbass! !! Damn! Sorry to hear that but dats are so awesome I almost took that chance myself! I thought he was chill then all the sudden my scomb was chomped on and chased all over the tank by my dat. I had to remove his two from fangs because he ran into stuff and bent them outward and could not close his mouth or eat. Thankfully they grow back for they are the most amazing thing about the fish other than their ways of catching food!!!

Go figure I just had to have more patience as my Vittatus has settled down and is in with the RTG and tank mates. It's even eating hikari stick now.
