My armatus was growing out in the 50gallon till now, today I shifted him to the 220gallon, which houses my mahseer.

My armatus has been a shy fish, doesn't look like an aggressive eater, but my mahseer are super aggressive when it come to eating.

So what do you guys think???
 
Adapt or starve lol.

That's what I am afraid of
All 3 bagarius of mine starved with the mahseer, I had to move them to save em.
I have a few fish of my own that due to be shuffled around due their sizes.
 
This is Monster Fish! Kill or be killed.

Hope not, as this tank was my favorite as opposed to the cichla tank or the Dorado tank.
 
Mahseers are mean. When they see an injured tank mate they attack. My spinibarbus was peeled of its skin alive just because it sustained a scrape. I pulled the 24" spinibarbus out with it's skin hanging like it was filleted.

Not very encouraging, if it survived the night I think the armatus has a chance
 
The armatus did survive the first 24hrs, a few bruised fins, but no heavy damage, but I am not sure about how well it would feed in the tank
