Large Armatus in a 240.

Hes getting thicker also and very bold.

I been still having issues at feeding time, when I come near the tank he swims at the top and as I start to feed him he jumps and does not wait for the food to hit the water. Any ideas guys on stopping him from jumping?

Mine does something similar. When i show him the feeding container he swims up top, maybe 3" below suface level. So i watch him watching my hand move above the tank, once i know hes fixated on the food i drop it in.

Lately (since i installed the new powerhead) iv been dropping his food at the back of the tank where the powerhead is and it blows the food around up top. So far he seems to prefere this method, maybe its more natural feeling to them.

mine's actually the opposite. Everytime I try to feed my 10 incher, he swims away. Maybe dim the lights and walk slowly toward the tank. At least your shows interest in the food

Yes I am very happy he is so bold, it comes in handy when my little boys friends are bagging on the glass when I am at work (ha) but not funny at all. He seems starving at times and I feed him so much every day and he always wants more 12 hours later!
