Post here why your ATF or Armatus Died

[Luc]

I just wanted to be certain that the price that you mentioned was correct,sorry about your loss.Did you get another aro and what do you have now?

No exegaration!, the dead fish is in the gallery of VIP arowana website Vincent is holding it, when it is dead, I feel sad and realised my mistake.,
It is not my most stunning looking fish, but it is one I loved most.

Now I have only GATF and Armatus.

The dead fish in the pics is taken after 8 hours in fridge and then defrost.
Dun see the comments, the fish will not wake up, anyway it is over 5 years ago incident, now I no longer interested in arowanas, eventhough I continued to keep til 2 years ago, when plecos and Hydrocynus Goliath took over.

That seems to be the way it goes most of the time...I saw the link that you posted,thanks.

I feel like the pool incident deserves an explanation....but I understand if you really don't want to talk about it

Not quite armatus (or even close lol) I lost my 6" scomb because it decided that it could "fly" after a rosy red. I found both bodies under my desk.

My 6" raph tore up the front of his face really bad and lost his fangs from pressing his face on the glass. They get claustrophobic really fast.

my ornate poly ate my atf 3 days after i got it. $100 meal

lost an 8" gatf last night when 3 others slayed it...might lose another tonight because an azul killed all the feeders while i was in school and there was a major spike...most of the gatf's tail was burned off. what are the chances of survival? it's still swimming fine. im just hoping no more tail falls off. oh and the armatus seem to be interested in killing him...ARGHHHHH

Lets hope for everyone's sake-and pocket books that this list isn't too long.

2 juvy gatf, bad chemicals aquarisol was the name. added chemicals to 55 gal fish were dead 2 hours later.

1 juvy vatf, swallowed by small hi fin achara catfish. i gutted the catfish and tried to retrieve the body, but too late vatf dead. both fish were about 5 inches. never mix catfish with atf, ticking time bomb.

1 10 inch batf or vatf, couldnt get a positive id on it. anyways ammonia spike in my 220 gal, fish was thriving in ammonia conditions. attempted to move him to clean water and he stressed and died during acclimation. everything else survived change, odoes, tats, and fronts. i almost killed myself after this loss. 600$ worth of dead atf in a span of 5 months.
