Need payara info from a reliable source

[xander]

This is the exact species that All-Happy has right now. I believe he has 2 or 3 pcs in. Pretty fierce looking dude

They look like a payara and a Pug had kids together

oh yeah it does!

Of the 5 Scombs I had the fastest growing one was actually kept in light brackish water.I'de say max size of Rhaphs and Scombs TBD. I asked around to see what the max size anyone has seen a Rhaph grown in a home aquarium and got NO answers whatsoever. If you're including Rhaphs and gibs then you might as well include Cynopotamus and Charax sp..

TBD? to be discussed? if so i think tats 18" is untrue too. ive nvr seen or heard of one larger than 12"

thanks for the unput though

i think i saw pics of a 18 incher once.
the max sizes of hydrolycus are not confirmed yet,since they havent been in the hobby for long.

so ive got a pond pump in with my armatus to speed up the current it increases the current and also icreases my power bill do i really need fast current my tank has two powerheads that seem to move the water at a decent speed pm me for answers.

 

[krichardson]

The pond pump could be a bit much.I'd stick with the powerheads.

about the only thing that i can add is that all 8 of the scombs that i have owned were alot more aggressive than the 2 H tat's that i own. I have seen gold fish that where more aggressive than the tat's that i have. My experience with the H tat is that they are very peaceful and do not move alot unless they are startled. Scombs on the other hand come alive when you walk up to the tank just incase you might have some food. And just incase you are taking up eating habits. My scombs at 3-5 inches all ate about 4-6 feeder guppies at around 1/4''-3/8'' in a 24 hour period. And one of my scombs would eat until there was no more left. He grew quickly and died quickly too. My H tat's on the other hand i have never seen eat or even chase food. even after 1.5 months.

were they competeing with other predatory fishes my tank has a large cuda and needlenosed gar so im hopeing my tats when i get them will be near the more aggressive side so they have a chance at getting the whole silversides i feed my fish my three silver dollars even go after them ive heard that tats can be pretty agressive
