Def. not Armatus.
Pretty sure if you're paying Scomb money then you'll get a Scomb.
I wouldn't pay too close of attention to thier pics....they aren't of the ACTUAL fish for sale in most cases.
Payara are very difficult to ship...... I have come to expect small mortality rate from someone that knows what they are doing. And 100% from someone that doesn't.
If you are going to order some I highly recommend having a QT tank set up allready and meds on hand. High temp and salt. EVERY payara I've ever had shipped to me has come in poor shape.
I would highly recommend getting them from John. That way you are assured they will be I.D.'d properly and he has a lot of experience in shipping them, and also comes through on the garentee part of it......not only that they arive alive but that they eat. I had 2/5 die and he made more than good on it.

The fish in that pic is a tat, but as said earlier, the pics on the websites are usually not the fish that's for sale.

Aquascape,eczs, and SA are all in driving distance for me in nj so I wont be getting anything shipped.. I just want to make sure Im buying a yellow tail and not a scomb.. Would it be harder to tell apart small yellows, maybe i should just get reds so I dont end up w/ a scomb
I have never dealt with Aquascape. I have dealt with John and talked with G.
It may be hard to tell the difference between a Scomb and Yellowtail from a single pic. Seeing them in person comparing 1 to another is TOTALLY different. You will see differences plain as day. Compare the yellows to reds. I doubt you will get a mis IDed fish from John or G. They both know their Payara very well.
I would highly recommend getting a shoal rather than 1 or 2.
