Armatus

sweet!!!!! this time you should be able to acclamate him right. and do a 25% water change at the time of arrivial. and a little salt wouldnt hurt either. i hear that some armatus owners keep salt in their tanks 24/7

What salt and what ratio? I have the Hagen aquarium salt or marine.Thanks

Good news.

I am assuming the hagen stuff is the medical salt. in which case I would use that.

Will do, but how much per gallon?

i do 4lbs for every 100 gallons. i know this seems like alot but that is the nessessary amount. now with vamps since they are silver scaled i use just a little less. in my 140 gallon i use 4 lbs.(now this is if my fish get a bacterial infection) now u probably dont need that much just to acclamate a fish. ask a few more people. i would do about half of the nessessary amount.

Thanks for the info. Is it normal then for my redtail to be fine in total fresh? It is doing amazingly.Thanks

i think 100% fresh is the way to go because thats what it would be in the wild. keep us posted on the new guy
