I never knew there was a fish like that. honestly i think those and the tiger fish are really ugly. but i know nothing about them. why do so many people like to keep them? i just don't get it. they aren't colorful or interesting IMO, so what does everyone like about them?
whats with these armatus?

As in Payara? Really really cool. I think completely different than what is usually out there to buy and keep.
yeah i saw a few have big teeth but otherwise they dont have nice fins or anything. why do people like them. also arent they expensive at that?

I think we all look for something different as tank inhabitants. Not my thing, but I could see devoting a tank to something that looks so devious and evil. It sure would be a conversation piece.
Talking about colors, I was seriously considering devoting a 135g to a pair of breeding Festae's. Holy crap, they sound mean. Africans? Chaa!proaquatics510;1582818; said:
Different strokes for different folks. I dont know what fish you are into but these fish and their whole familyis quite interesting to me ,I am mesmerized by their teeth alone maybe because for years I have kept fish with no visible teeth let alone fangs.I havent even gotten around to keeping an Armatus yet but I have kept their more beautiful cousin [Redtail Payara] and Rhaphiodons currently.I am someone who never really was into silvery fish until now,but I can kind of see where you are coming from because there are certain types of fish that I dont care for such as Flowerhorns and most hybrid fish.
I have an even better question...why would anyone keep a goldfish? one color, not very active, no personality, and they dont even eat other fish...yet they are the most common fish around! I think we are the sane ones for liking somthing different.
