VATF Suicide Head Trauma

Really sorry for your loss Don.
I want to thank you though for the inspiration. This site is full of "your tank's not big enough" "You can't mix anything with them" type advice when it comes to ATF. That's why I never had any. It wasn't until seeing West's and yours that I figured to hell with it and give them a try..... For that I thank you.
For what it's worth, IF you were to ever venture up north, like say IA/MO boarder, I'd happily meet you with a free fish to fill the void in your tank, or the void that will be left when your grow outs move. A fish much less likely to crash into things........

Thanks Al,
West1's VATF is what got me into mine. Might take you up on that free fish, only a 4-5 hour drive to the border. Now you have my interest peeked.
My grow outs aren't moving anywhere unless they decide to commit suicide also or become a ray chew toy. That or they decide to kill each other off.
Either way I will enjoy them while I have them-----> IN WITH MY RAYS.
Thanks Kevin, (12.5")
Nice offer Alan, my first thought was to offer my gatf at nc to you Don as I'm selling him but he's currently spoken for. FYI I kept my previous vatf and my current gatf with a whole slew of fish I shouldn't
Appreciate the thought Kevin. I think I will enjoy the Armatus trio for now. I never kept them before. Cant wait to move them in with the rays
Really sorry for your loss your vatf was a stunner... I have a quick question i don't mean to hijack your thread or anything, but how is the personality of your card as compared to your trio of armatus? The general consensus seems to be that armatus are much more owner responsive. Thanks and sorry for your loss.

I already paid for my armatus from ichiban he's currently been in a tank with a few rays for about a few weeks

I am assuming by card you mean ATF.
The armatus come to the front of the tank when I walk in the room where the atf tended to move to the back of the tank. Also I believe I am finding that they dont appear to be as skittish as the atf was. Maybe because they are in a group, IDK since I am new to them I am still learning.
I am sure this will change once I move them.
Yeah lol auto correct is so annoying. I was considering buying a vatf at my lfs but I decided I don't want a skittish fish that will go 70 mph into the side of the tank when u walk by and lose scales and have a callous nose. When family members walk around my "silvery fish" tank im always watching like a hawk lol im sure other people feel the same way?!?! Armatus seem to be owner response and have that high speed predator look. Anyways, GL with the ray/armatus comm i wish you the best
