Hi Darren! Does your aro's mouth stay open constantly or does it just opens and shuts rhythmically?

how's your water parameter? Temperature?

Which filter and how is it set up?

How long has it been like that? How big is your aro? How long have you had this aro?

When did the problem start to occur? When it eats, is it able to close its mouth?

If you're really suspicious that there could be something there, the only way to find out is to sedate it & have a look.

I am really sorry to hear about your loss.......

But what happened? the tank was not covered well? was there a gap?

Hope you will not give up the hobby....

Sorry to hear about it. You might want to take a look in its mouth to see if there is anything wrong.

Hope you get over it soon.

Yes aros do have tongues. Did you look into your aros mouth? What did you find?

Anything abnormal in the mouth. The tongue is normally there in the mouth. You need to be looking for anything that is not supposed to be in the mouth. :)
