Will someone identify this species of Payara for me.

I bought a Payara and it was sold as a Armatus. Will someone conform this for me.

Yea, a nice one too.

Appreciate the comments guys. I figured it was but I just wanted to make sure, Iv'e been hearing stories of sellers selling other species and calling it Armatus.

No biggie that's part of what we're here for, update us sometime on how he's doing.

Well..I got him a month ago at 3 inches and he's already at 5 inches . Been on a diet of rosy reds but I'm switching over to tilapia. He mostly hides under a cave but I think he's starting to get comfortable and we'll see that lovely back and forth swimming Payaras do so well.

Nice, and 2 inches in one month? Yea, I've never heard of a scomb or tat achieving that lol..
