does anyone knows who got the largest armatus in mfk. I think the largest is 24inches. need some info....thanks guys.
 
I think it's dead but I might be wrong:confused:
 
My old guy is growing great in his 10x3 and has not had a live feeder since he was about 7". I got him on Sept25 at 4" and he is now pushing 14". The fact he is eating a great diet and the only fish in a huge tank, the current owner and I believe he will eventually be brute!

Pics and video of that 20" would be very cool!

here is my 20" armatus and I will take video soon. enjoy.u can see in the 1st picture the orinos is 14inches+ and the size of the armatus at least 6inches more longer.

Well, if you consider Wu-Chun an MFKer, because he posts here, his have to be up there at the top. Woodysun's is dead now, but his had to have been close to 30 inches. I would say you (Milokai) or Trev have the largest armatus possibly in the States.

My armatus is currently at just over 14 inches hand measured with a tape, and isn't even a year old yet. AS JD said, it's going be a brute for sure.

I recall there being at least a 20"+ Rhaphiodon or scomb on a MFK hosted video somewhere. Trev found it if I'm remembering correctly.

We really arent even close to ccdoido's or the Peixe Cachorro website. That guy's fish is an absolute monster:
