Robert Paulson the Salminus brasiliensis (Argentinian Golden Dorado) growout thread

Honestly I think it was the Armatus. I think one on one they would have been fine, but beings there was 2 Armatus I think the Aimara was intimidated and just snapped. There was a few days last month he just went on a war path. Messed up both the Armies but the damage he took was worse. Ate a few times after that but was never the same. Almost seemed like he'd rather kill himself trying to remain king of the tank then let something else run it.
Could have also been the Lince. The Lince was never a planned fish, but an opportunity arose, and I took it. But the Lince never really recieved much damage. Gets shanked from time to time but I see the Armatus taking swipes at him.
All and all I'm pretty upset with the Armatus. Everything in that tank has played nice for years prior to those pricks being introduced. They screw with the Dorado and the Lince on a regular basis.
This may just be all the more reason for me to move them out and turn all the ATF loose in there.

Well you must remember the head thing isn't definitive. It's more of a common occurrence but can't always be trusted. I watched the vid you posted today of the second brassie. How's he eating for you? I see what you mean by he doesn't look like he wants to exist without Robert...
I don't imagine he'll be around much longer. Kinda bummed about this. Pretty expensive fish to just loose for no reason......
We always debated about diet being part of the issue some of us have with Armatus - Maybe it's all Characins in general? I hope you don't need a chinese market within driving distance to be able to obtain food necessary to raise fish like this!?!?!
