Baby Armatus; first time in the UK!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Well delivery is arranged for Wednesday and they're apparently already accepting dead food including blood worm so no need to feed live...

Now all I've got to do is hope they will survive a week of care at the hands of a friend while I'm on holiday..!
 
They're here already! just settling in and in unusual contrast, they are larger than the size quoted- probably 3-4". I'll let them aclamate in my small grow out but I would say that they only need to put on anothert 2-3" before they can go in the larger grow out.

Very Exciting! I'll do some picutres later...
 
Well, it's not gone quite to plan... lost one for unknown reasons a few hours after receiving the little fella. I suspect stress/starvation as the other is fine but it's still a mystery for now...
 
Well, I ended up with one but, due to a malfunction with my growout, I ended up loosing it so I'm Armatusless! I'd certainly still like one but I've closed my grow outs now and would have to go for a pretty large one if I were to add it to my main tank and since large ones don't come up, I won't be getting one any time soon..!

I think MJJ4307 possibly got his from the same batch and his is at a respectable size so clearly some of them made it without any issue.
