Bump, where's a good place to get the tats?

What size tank do they require?

I haven't seen any on any of the vendors lists for some time.They are harder to come by than armatus.

What size tank do they require?

They're slow growing and don't get very big. You're unlikely to see one bigger than about a foot in an aquarium. As such, a 6' by 1.5' footprint would work, but a 6' by 2' would be better as I assume that it probably won't be solo.

I really like the scombs and tats but tats seem to be hard to find and scombs don't live very long :/

Hi all, I keep an 18 inches Armatus. I bought it just a year ago. Does someone know how often does it shed its fangs? TIA
