best way to acclimate armatus?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
If he was skinny, I'd say give him live. He looks really good and healthy though, so I think you'd be good for about a week of his being stubborn, but I think he'll eat before that.

Good luck bro! Keep us posted, he's a great fish!
 
I wouldn't convert it back to live lol. The armatus is just getting used to the new environment.
 
Well he ate two pieces of talapia Monday night, but hasn't eaten since. Iv been trying 3 times a day - every day and no luck. He seems to be more intested in his own reflection than anything else. Seems to be hanging around the top right corner of the tank too. I thought maybe the flow was too strong for him cuz he's only 6inch, so I turned off the powerheads, he perked up a bit then went back to his corner staring at his reflection. I don't want to give him live since he's taken the talapia a few days ago.

Also on the plus side. His right eye has completely cleared up.

Stay the course! He'll come around. Before you know it, he's gonna be the undisputed master of that tank....

It took my armatus more than a week for it to get used to his new home.. How big is the tank?
 
Right now he's solo in a 120. So he has plenty of room for now.
