What a pick-up story...been there and worse...lol. I am glad to see it all worked out...once he starts eating for you he will gain quickly...mine packed on an extra 2" in less than 2 weeks...best way to get your boy on the snack truck is put a bunch of small feeder guppies in with him and let him eat at will...you will notice when it happens as he will stalk the guppies...also keep the tank dim so he feels more comfortable...I actually put a black trashbag under my light so it was very subdued lighting,but still enough to view the tank and the fish...also keep your temp up around 84-85*F.
keep us updated.

"mine packed on an extra 2" in less than 2 weeks" Are you serious???? That is amazing!!!! It's funny, I had some leftover feeder guppies from my ATF when he was like 4'' and I threw them into a huge rubbermaid container with some live plants...no air...no heater... and they did amazing I had over 100 in no time and just let them keep breeding so my Armatus hs a gang in with him already. Thanks very much for the tips bro.

Man that sux, after all the hassel!! it was probably the trip and the stress ect from the bag ordeal :( sorry to see.
 
Thanks everyone. I really feel bad. Such a loss of a specimen I've wanted for years and just for what it is as well. All day long it was in my head while at work, made for a long crappy day. Thanks again.
