time for me to take out all my ornaments... my armatus are getting injured from smashing into them.. need to upgrade soon.. dont wanna lose another armi due to self inflicted injury...
 
Haha... good choice. I had to make that same decision too.
Used to keep fake plants in. But after he got a scratch, I took them all out.

Once he's grown in an empty tank though, he might not be happy when you add stuff later. Mine's no longer skittish, so I tried putting it some of the plants again. But he threw a tantrum. Kept darting around the tank and splashing near the surface. He calmed right down once I took them out.
 
it was easier when they where smaller.. but now the damage they do to themselves its crazy.. so much speed, power in a short burst can really take a toll... mine are 15" average..
