My all time favourite together with goliath tiger fish.
Its a fast grower at this stage, beware of the rest of the comm become food.

Waa! Then got to separate them before year end I Guess!

if it attempt to eat the clown loach and the loach spring out the movable spine set beneath the eyes that can be deadly if the armatus is swallowing it.

Awesome looking fella

okok dont worry will definitely separate my armatus to an individual tank for show case!

WIll a 3x1.5x1.5 be sufficient to hold a single armatus?

Thank you !

It will but for maybe for 4-6 mth if u feed live feeds.
It will be skittish if alone in the tank, I find that tankmates help so I comm it.

Ohh good, i was just about to ask Armatus better in a group ? like get a few more armatus? or will they kill each other?

i com 2 pcs at size 10' and 8" before no issue.

Ok Swee I will get one more!
