Dead Armatus at about 10"

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Has anyone every tried keeping them solo to see if that helps? What about padding? I know some folks that have put poret foam on the sides of the tank to stop their fish from bashing heads.
Mine was solo when it blew a gasket and flipped out.
 
Well, I lost the other one lastnight. This is really a head scratcher. I'm totally bummed out. Same issue, no bite marks or nipped fins. They have to be one of the more delicate fishes that I've had.
Yes,they are tremendous fish to keep but are some real heartbreakers lol.After losing my third and biggest one I have vowed to not get any more armatus.....as tempting as it is lol.

These were my first 2, so I'll try 2 more, but if they meet the same fate, i will pretty much give it a rest. I'm gonna go and pick them up tomorrow.
