My Armatus finally took some deadly shots at my Geos:cry:
I have a total of 4pcs with my Armatus and everything was great. Then I sold the Goliath and got rid of the Gold Wolf and the Armatus has picked up his sack. He has been harrasing this one Geo and this morning I woke up to him with a nasty hole on one side of his gills and another nasty hole on top of his head. Not to mention his eye got poked pretty bad and has a few scratches on his body and a little hole under his body:cry:.

I have had a few MFKers over and they all say I have Geo Sirrementus (sorry cant spell:ROFL:)... the Red ones, including the 2 smaller ones I got.
This guy is not dead yet but is laying down breathing hard and sturggling to swim up-right. Hope he pulls through:cry:

:ROFL::ROFL::ROFL:

To the OP...sorry about your fish....they can be very resilient so he may bounce back...although the wounds look pretty bad from the pics....GOOD LUCK...:D

I hope he does too except every pic I ever posted with my camera phone is bad quality. With that being said it is worst than it looks on my pics (still hope he pulls throu)


Got a Q for you guys???

Since I un-balanced my tank (when I took out certain fish) and the Armatus is starting to get physically aggressive should I just get everyone out or add 3-5 more Geos (fish in general but was leaning towards more Geos)?

Thanks
 
You could add more which I believe would disperse his agression and it may not be aimed fully at one fish. But from how it seems he's reaching a mean streak now and he could take it out on anyone really, especially since he is the largest fish in the tank...IMO

mayb just remove the geos?

If I do then I have to put them up for sale:cry:. The only other tank I have (and want) is my 50gl feeder tank:(

Im ganna try to add some Tinfoil barbs, maybe tghis will help as they are mid to high swimmers
 
sorry to hear, Wes. You really should have a spare hospital tank, though, but I understand you not wanting any more tanks. hope it pulls out of it
