what a day!

[xander]

well, 2 weeks ago i sold off almost everything i had in preparation for an armatus. well, today i went down to collect it, after saving and selling. anyways, i went to the shop to collect it, and the boss said he'd pack it for me while i went out for dinner. anyways when i returned, he told me "sorry, yr fish jumped out and died. i didn't believe him until pulled out a pail with a 14" armatus lying inside. i was like. wtf.

Well I guess it has been less than 1/2 hour!!!

well ANYWAYS....

he told me that the armatus had bit through the bag and fell, what, 1.6meters to the ground, going into shock, dropping a whole lot of scales and bashing his good eye(his other had already been damaged)

well i saw the fish twich, and started asking if i could add him into a tank and try to revive him. the boss said i couldn't.(due to some reasons i assure you are completly reasonable.) but then he told me i could bag it and take it home, FREE.

obviously i did, but the armatus was already on it's side in the bag, and not looking good. couple of friends were there and all agreed that it was probably not gonna make it. well, i had to try....

then i remembered since i had the spare money now, i could pick up the goliath atf that i wanted...so i waited another 15mins while it was being bagged. the armatus's condition was getting worse..........

really nice piece...great chompers and huge tail. very aggressive and pretty non-skittish too.

with my old piece. sorry, they are a pain to take pics of

teaser for part 3

Youre asking for trouble if you plan on keeping the two GATF together, alone, as the only two fish in that tank.
