I wouldnt medicate, just do frequent water changes and add aquarium salt ... i also think your water params will be too jumpy for a 7 inch Army in a 10 gallon tank ... if you have a larger tank i would suggest moving him ASAP ... not that i think it couldnt work, i just think it probably wont and a 10 gallon isnt nearly large enough for him, and as stated his feeding and waste will most likely cause the water parameters to jump around, therefor stressing an already fragile fish, especially if he does have fin rot ... better pics would help ... it is def a good sign that he's eating, now you need to make sure his pooping out what he just ate doesnt kill him

+1 I would also raise the temp if you haven't yet. Mine are kept between 82-84F and when you do wc's make sure to replace the salt that you removed. Just in case, the usual dose is 1tbsp/5gal.

Alright I think the "finrot" is just the white edging around his tail... Speaking of moving him i guess I could, but Ik one member that had 3 armies in a 29 but idk. Ill move him into my 75 tmrw or tonight then... I don't want to be that one guy were everyone gives advice to and he doesn't take it. He ate two more goldfish today and is just chilling in front of the AC's current.

Fed him another and the teeth action is just incredible!!! Do you guys think i should drip him or just float him? I siphoned water out of my 75 after a 50% WC so water parameters are pretty similar. I don't have much time though so floating would be the best.

If it's eating that fast probably will be easy to get off live quick

Shout out to ichiban for the good shipping tho!!!! I've had less fragile fish eat in front of me at my lfs then 10 minutes later at home won't eat for an entire week lol. I have a tarpon that sometimes does backflips on krill so i think it'll be quick

Glad you got a good price for it...I've seen one eyed armatus at a certain local store(that will remain unidentified since doing so might be seen as bashing by some here)and no discount was offered.
