From everything I have read so far tats are suposed to be far less aggressive and get along better with each other than armatus. I noticed my 8in tas are starting to nip at each other more and more often. One has a nice signature vampire bite on the last 3rd of his body. They seem to be eyeballing my aros, alligator gar and clown knife. Today I found one of my 7 in aros with a fatal vampire bite behind his gill:irked: It had me actually second guessing that they were armatus rather than tats.......Wishfull thinking. I was just wondering if anyone else found their tats to be aggressive towards fih thier own size.

Lets trade, my 7" Tat is very shy and calm..

and it got punk by my datnoid (missing scales) :( and my datnoids are 5" and 6"
 
the very first tat i ever had would kill anything i put in the tank..... one mean SOB... luck of the draw!
 
it won't matter much once the alligator gar decides he wants everything in the etank dead. he'll start with the tat too.

first its a tattoo, then its gangs then drugs. if ive seen it once ive seen it a thousand times
:ROFL::ROFL::ROFL:
 
ive seen aggro tats.
they usually go for silver fish when they do get territorial.
but my old tat used to fight ALOT with my old temensis and even killed another tat. :irked:
never hurt anything else though.
 
My tat gets picked on by feeder gold fish. lol

I have mine eating chunks of shrimp to appease them in between feeders and keep them in a better mood. I even tricked them into eating krill a couple times but that pissed them off more:D I have alot of current going in my tank they seem to like it and I think it contributes to thier glutaneous appetite. They seem to be growing before my eyes and always hungry.
 
Glad to hear they are doing well. I felt bad for you after that armatus ordeal.
