Alright, after a very long period of time the 8ft is up and running. I introduced a small Sliver Aro about 1 1/2 weeks ago. Everything is cool. He is around ummm 7"s at the longest. The tank has play sand in it. Although this stuff has a very fine texture everything seem sok so far. ( I washed it out about 10X per 25lbs and I have an estimated 200lbs in. Filtration for now is a Living Color W/D, and I do have a pretty powerful powerhead so water movement is nice.
Originally I bought 3 armatus. I kept 2 in a 20gal long which got along great and one in a 20gal solo. I sold one of the 2 that were in the 20gal L (which unfortunately died)... My heart goes out to the fellow MFKer and the armatus.
It is now time to move the 2 armatus intot he 8ft together.
Should I just acclimate and release both at the same time?
Should I get a piece of plexi to divide the tank and keep them seperated? They are both about the same size. Around 6"-7".
Shoudl I not attempt to put them together and sell one? I would really prefer to try and keep 2. If one dies I would feel very bad. If one dies and injures the other (like shanks his eye or something) I would have a heart attack lol. I am jsut lookijg for a little bit of advice. Any help is much appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Well, sorry to put up a thread for no reason. After rereading some posts I am leaning towards not putting them in together. I might seperate the tank temporarily and possibly sell one.
