I guess I wasn't coping well since the incident... thanks for all the support everyone. Really, the community aspect of this hobby is really something special.
Every good story comes to an end... the death of my monster GATF

just wondering how you're holding up. Takes awhile to get over these things. Any plans for more ATF?
This is what I went through after my armatus flipped out and took the dive of death.I actually did neglect feeding my other fish as I did not even go into my fish area for a few days afterward.Sorry for your loss.
That's such a bummer, especially after such a big recent loss.
I totally get not able to go to the fish room, when such losses happen, always hurts to see old pets go. I remember the last time when I lost my 2 year old H. Niloticus, I shutdown many of my tanks

Damn dude that is a major blow! I lost a 18" goliath when i went out of town for a week and my tank blew a valve when i wasn't home. I missed it by 1 day after my flight got delayed! That was a yr ago. Now im growing out another from 5" now a healthy 8"! Not to sound cruel, but id stuff it and hang it on my wall, that is a stunning animal, period! Hopefully u have moved on and starting a new grow out. Unfortunately, things like this are part of the hobby.
I lost my Alpha 11" Vittatus but my 10" Goliath, 7" Vittatus and my weird 6" Vittatus with the solid red tail have all totally chill now that they are not getting beat on al the time. And a huge bonus is now the Goliath like the Vittatus are taking non live talapia, beef, turkey, chicken, brine shrimp, almost anything
Recently had my gatf taxidermied and wanted to share with you all.
