what a day!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
yep at the end he sounds like yoda. glad the armatus made it.
 
may the force be with you and the armatus
actually congrats on the free pick up
and get ready to have nightmares when the two gatfs get settled in your tank
 
ahaha yes! great idea actually! but i didn't think of taking a pic when my armatus was dying. haha

tankmate is a 16" spotted gar. will have to move him to another tank/pond if the armatus starts getting nasty.

ahh nvm i can just put one of the gatf's in the lower tier.
 
I hate to break it to you but you are FAR from being out of the woods. Armatus have very delicate scales/skin and if your guy flopped on the floor like you said be prepared to battle a severe fungal/bacterial infection!

Good luck!
 
Both good looking fish.. very nice!

He is NOT lying. Add salt as soon as possible, and read and learn from my mistakes. You probably incidentally shed a ton more scales holding the fish in your hands. Best of luck.
 
Glad to hear that you got him for free and able to keep him alive. Thats a win win situation.
G/L on his health bro
