Lookin good,from what I can tell in the photos they look pretty outgoingwhile mine seem to be very timid.My scombs are more outgoing,where did you get them,size,price,if you dont mind?
 
sweet, just add aquarium salt to get rid of the Ich
 
I do not think they have ick but I could be wrong. They just came out of quarintine where they spent 1 week being treated with prazi-pro for parasites. Then quick cure and methylene blue for ick and fungus. And the whole 3 week period they were at 84 degree's and salted at 1tbs per 5g of water. So i think they are disease free. I hope. They also were drip acclimated to the Q-tank for a few hours with a bath of maracyn and maracyn2 and then after Q they were acclimated to the planted grow out along with another antibiotic bath.They were in bad/ worse shape when i got them. There fins where torn a little and the eyes were cloudier. And they were more black then red from the stress. i am going to give them some time to relax before i go messig with them again. -----------------My first TAT i have had for a year was very skittish and i rarely seen it eat. Then i put the 2 new ones in and he has really liven up. The eat regularly, well they have for the last 3 feedings anyway. And they all school pretty good at feeding time and when the lights are out. The old one and the smaller new one are together 90% of the time and swim side by side all day. i purchased these from green tree pets in indiana for 30 bucks each. And they are around the 8'' mark.----------------------------------thanks alot

Looking at the pics, it looks like Ich. Ich comes from the feeders at LFS. I have a 50gl feeder tank for my Armatus. They live there for a week to 2 weeks and I just add salt. I also add salt to my 300 (about 1 aquafina bottle worth) on every water change just in case some Ich gets bye.
I have to say that my Armatus (all the fish in my tank at that) have no problems with Ich. JMO... Salt for everything just a matter of how much your adding

G/L and looks pretty healthy thou
