Adding armatus

[SandNukka15]

So currently In my 8 foot 220 I have

9.5 inch vatf
10 inch del bichir
10 inch silver arow
10 inch tiger shovelnose
7 inch peacock bass
8 inch spotted gar

6.....5-6 inch blue hook silver dollars which will be sold soon

I want to add one of my 7 inch armies that are in my 7 foot 210....

I figure since everyone has been growing at the same rate I should be ok......any thoughts?

Only the peacock will be the same size as the army and he has been growing almost an inch a month as well

Size wise do they think they would be ok?........should I add more dithers if so....what kind?...thanks

Filteration is 4 ehiem 2217.... only reason I have 4 ehiems is due to past tanks .....water change schedule is 90% every 4th day

Any experience keepers wanna chime in?

I would think you would be ok but it is a Risk with tank mates for everyone especially the armatus Since the other fish are established.

There's no aggression. In the tank at all which is nice.....if I add the army I definitely would want to add more dithers

Likely the armatus will
Be stressed after the move and become a target.
Once he gets established then the fear of him fang someone!

Yes that is true..... the obvious answer is to keep him where he is lol thanks
