Getting Armatus soon :) What do I need to know?

[West1]

If he is sick (wild caught), what med should I have close by?
Is it better to Quarentine him in a tank by himself or just avoid the stress and add him with my Motoro/Gar/Tat? and treat the tank if need be???

Do all Wild Caught Armatus come in with Parasites???

Thanks in advance

 

[West1]

Anyone who bought Armatus from RiverWonders, did it come in with parasites or sick??
If so how did you treat it?

I was informed about Fish Louse.

I think this link has some pretty good info and a pic or two of them

In doing some research on Louse, it looks like this stuff works the best (hopefully I dont need to use any)

Thanks, as I read more on this... your right (especially for payara).

I'm tapping out with Armatus and going with another Tat. Going to try to house them with a pair of Gulper Cats (8-9" Tats and 2 3-5" Gulpers (maybe smaller?))

Thanks Vamp, you always seem to help me when I need it

if u get another tat it will prob help ur other one come to life too. although, there is nothing like an armatus...

I'm sure there is nothing like an Armatus! Oh, well
The other Tat is off live, so I hope it helps

Multiple tats are more active than a single one then? Cool. Kinda thought they would but didn't heard someone who had experienced it.
