When should he go in??

[West1]

I have a 13" GATF and a 10-11" Gold Wolf.
I also have my grow out Armatus that I want to add in but dont know what size should be best???

Yup Yup. They have been together for a few months now. They get punked by 2 5" Geos

The GoldWolf is like a gently giant (KNOCK ON WOOD!!!!)

Tank is a 300.....8x30"x2'

I would have to say that the only thing that might be to my favor is that the Armatus is bunking with 2 6-8" Aros, 4"Orino and a Pleco. So since he was 1.5" I have grown him with multiple tankmates and there is close to zero aggression (they are in a 50gl with no damage on any snouts).

Same goes fro the GATF and Wolf.

Add lots of dithers, feed heavy, break up lines of site, and add when ready to watch for 24hours and have any injuries!

Funny, I do plan on adding him on a weekend

I have to say, for the last 2" (1hr) I have been feeding the Armatus once a week trying to get the Aros and the Orino to tech him about Krill but he dont take to it.... but I dont see any aggression from him when he looks hungry...???

Also, Im not real comfy on adding him when he is real close to the same size as the GATF cause it will just take 1 shot to know it wont work. Im leaning on adding him late this month, early next month so he can get used to the Goliath (likewise for the Goliath).

Just need some more opinions......

Thanks guys

Save this post for when I get my Gold Dorado

Its already on call and the next one in is MINE (under 6" So Ill have to grow him out too)
Then I will need mental support

hope it all works out big dog!
go with your gut feel!
i'd personally add it now,instead of letting the armatus get some size before it meets the big boys.
if all goes well with the dorado as well,thats gonna be an AWESOME comm!

Im not ganna lie... im scared to add the Dorado. Thinking about poking both of his eyes this way he will be gentle....(Sike)

I have to say, I like the 3 species and the only way to know which is for me is to see them all in action, plus it looks good for getting my Big tank next year (God Willing). Looking at 12x4x3......almost 1100gls. Time will tell

But thanks for the Luck
