Are you serious....$550? Too bad it is such a pain in the ass bringing fish back from Canada or I would be tempted to make a road trip.If I were in your position I would just leave the armatus be and let it get used to the dat being there.As long as the Widebar does not bother with or attack the armatus it should eventually come around.I haven't had many but every armatus that I have had,including my current one,has gone on a fast for reasons of their own,sometimes lasting up to a month before they start eating again.
