Sooo... when they get to say11" they will swim around a lot more?
Maybe I should just dump the ever so Rare Goliath and stick to the Armatus?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, stupid hobby
. Cant make up my mind, Its one of those things where you have to try it to see if you like it. But If I get rid of my Armatus/Goliath I might regret it
. Maybe I should just dump the master bedroom and get another 300
. After all I still would have a 16 and 22' wall left
My last one was broke at 6 inches but it still takes a while. It has to figure out "This is my tank, my territory, and that guy right now is gonna feed me, and I'll be damned if anything else in here is gonna get anything!" Once this change takes place it will travel the tank more.... begin to patrol...... But yeah until you get the thing off live fish it's going to just keep pullin rock duty and hide and ignore you. Mine are allready starting to become less skittish. The big one is actually starting to chase fingers on the outside of the tank and beginning to come to the front of the tank when it sees me.
I'll be honest with you man..... I have 4 tanks and a pond. Wanna know which is most active? My brackish tank. The 7 Monos and 9 Scats NEVER EVER stop moving. The 3 Gymno Tiles constantly pull figure 8s against the front of the tank. Throw a piece of shrimp in there and have the towl ready. I get soaked every time. The Tiles will actually rip fish apart using teamwork. A big piece of smelt and 2 will latch on, one on each end, then deathroll. Ripped to shreds. All this activity starts and pisses off the Stonefish so he starts howling. I have no fear of being bit by any of my "monsters" but I will NOT stick my fingers in this tank. Been bit several times by the Tiles. The aggresion is there because of competition. The Tiles were puddy cats alone but make them compete and they get blood thirsty. It's ALL in the combination of the fish that makes them what they are and act they way they do. You just need to spice up what you got a bit......

that must be a fun tank!
might as well have that armatus with a few hundred silver dollars.ahhaha
I had some mono sabaes in freshwater with 2 atfs and they were cool except not scary looking
Im ganna stick with the Armatus for now (unless a Dorado comes up then everything is gone
J/K)
As for you CHanarox..... Y do you have to bring up the past?? That is old news
Dont know, I was pumped till about the following day after he went into the 300. He just finds his spot and chills, the dude dont even eat infront of me
. Thats just the worst part, atleast chow down so I can see something positive about him. Hes an awsome and powerful swimmer but just not my fish (except for his dope looking Jaws
)
