Ahh, the famous greet :)
I enjoyed that from my old Armatus and Vittatus
 
[video=youtube;Wob18LmgQvo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wob18LmgQvo[/video] Mine id doing great hes already outgrown my scomb who could have eaten my army when i got him at the end of june. As soon as open the lid he comes looking for food. Mainly eats feeders but also eats tilapia with no problem.
 
More flighty then my ATF, and getting picked on by the tinfoils that are outgrowing them...... :(

Will be picking up first batch of large goldfish tonight. 50 smalls barely last 2 days.

They stare at other food and seem perfectly content watching the foilys gorge themselves, without even making a run at it.

Might try swapping the Armatus's Tinfoils with the Tiggers Silver Dollars. See if that doesn't knock them Barbs down a peg or 2......
 
Mine are doing ok on hikari sticks. I'm noticing that Armies don't grow as fast on pellets as fish filets. My previous Armies were training on tilapia chunks and they only ate one chunk per day but it was like 1/4 of the size of their body. The Armies I have now eat sticks but don't eat as many as the equivalent of one big chunk of filet. So they don't eat as much. I'm sure nutritionally the pellets are better but they grew faster on fish chunks. IME. I'd like to get them to try and take some filets soon just so they get more of a variety.
