Looking to hear from people who have experience with large armatus and if they have seen similar behavior...
My 20”+ armatus just started recently lunging at my lince about 17”. He’ll swim behind the lince in the current of the powerhead and then dart at him, not with his mouth open but almost looks to head butt him to intimidate him. Its almost like he’s trying to push him out of the current so he can swim in it. Its to the point that he’s doing it often. Has anyone else who has kept large armatus ever experienced this type of behavior? And if it will get worse?
One thing I’m thinking about doing is adding another powerhead to the other side of the tank about mid way up and maybe the armatus will swim in that current and stay away from the lince’s side. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks
