The beautiful and delicate creature-AT

[uLtRaMaN]

Just cannot help getting my hands onto one whenever I see them in LFS, even though I am aware they are very demanding creatures.

Just wanna know how many bros are actually successful in keeping them and how many bros are still struggling to keep them alive? How many had actually perished under your hands?

For me I've one which died on me and the second one with me now is suffering from ICH and is undergoing hypo. Hoped he pulls thru. One thing i dun understand why they are so prone to ICH since they are eating like a pig?

Cummon bros share your thoughts and the road towards the successful keeping of your beloved ATs! Thanks!

i think one good way is to ask the farm/LFS that sell those healthy AT in their tanks. They must have a method of keeping them in their tanks for sales in ich-free and pellet eating conditions. Maybe they UV the entire tank water, or keep the AT in very low salinity, or add copper....l'm guessing...

if u realized, ICH will also appear on those unsold ATs in LFS after a few days. So it's very important that lfs sells them fast otherwise they will suffer heavy losses. UV i find it's not that effective but i agree low salinity might reduce the possibilities of getting ich but we can't be keeping fishes in low salinity all year round right?especially if we are also keeping corals or inverterbrates.for copper wise i think it's a bit risky cause overdosing will kill them.
