Hydrolycus Armatus (Payara) Store DescriptionOverview:®The Hydrolycus Armatus, commonly known as the Payara or Vampire Tetra, is a striking predatory freshwater fish renowned for its elongated body, silver sheen, and long, fang-like teeth. With its ferocious appearance and fast swimming speed, this apex predator is a captivating addition to any advanced aquarium.
Origin:®Native to fast-flowing rivers of South America, particularly in the Amazon and Orinoco River basins, the Hydrolycus Armatus thrives in well-oxygenated waters with strong currents.
Feeding:®As a carnivorous predator, the Payara primarily feeds on live fish. In captivity, it may accept frozen or fresh fish but prefers live prey. A varied diet of meaty foods is essential for its health and vitality.
Tank Mates:®Due to its aggressive and territorial nature, tank mates should be chosen carefully. Ideal companions are other large, robust species that can withstand the Payara’s predatory instincts. Avoid smaller fish as they will be seen as prey.
Aggression:®The Hydrolycus Armatus is highly aggressive, especially during feeding. It may become territorial towards tank mates, especially those of similar size or appearance. Providing plenty of space and hiding areas can help minimize aggressive behavior.
Experience Level:®Recommended for experienced aquarists due to its size, specialized feeding requirements, and aggressive behavior. Maintaining the right water conditions and diet is crucial for its survival in captivity.

Points to ponder
Color: Batteries Powered, Color: Batteries Powered
Attractive shelves and good illumination, but must be turned on and off manually and individually. Not spaced to secure to studs so gigantic anchors are provided but nothing to hide or secure the AAA battery power supply required for each shelf. No ability to dim and no remote on these units at this price point but I will find a place for these shelves which are attractive and good value if you aren’t as reluctant as me to put heavy things on them or as lazy as me.

Vision came to life!!

I am pleased with my purchase, I wanted a spot light but I like the strip. The picture was taken in the early evening, it gives a great ambiance. Lights start to dim as the batteries die, easy installation.
I used tan tape to cover the power cord, the shelves are above eye level so you can’t see it.
