i got stubborn AND tried to take the risk.. didnt pay off..:irked:
i tried to add dats in the armatus tank..
size of armatus-6".. 2NTTs-4".. 2ATs-4"..

the result..
injured armatus' eye.. some bites on the body.:WHOA:
one eye got injured. i added melafix quickly and salt.
good thing the damage wasnt that bad so in less than 2 days, the eye is healed. he seems he can still see thru it.

LESSON LEARNED: DATS AND ARMATUS??? IS A NO NO!:irked:

gonna have to sell my dats now.. damn!:irked:

i know.. i know..:( DB actually PMed me regarding this scenario.. like i said, i got stubborn.. im just thankful that the damage wasnt permanent. he just got a little bubble inside the eye that's gone now. never gonna do it again.

i posted this to add 1 more testimonial to the "dats and armatus co-hab"..
let this be a warning to others. :(

You gave up on yours too soon and got rid of it.When you are dealing with fish this young and small anything is possible,but the big adults are the ones that earn their reputation.There's plenty of chewed up ATF's around here to attest to that.

ditto..

small armatus are push-overs, they start getting mean at about 10"
