My aro dun eat when I change the position of the power heads. Dun eat for 1 month. It's just a phase they go through. It will eat sooner or later.

Its a matter of gettin used to the changes.. at the meantime.. just entice it with its favourite live food or try a change of diet in small amounts. It will eat in due cause :)

Other than not eating, is there anything else abnormal about the aro. If not than all he should do is to maintain good water parameters & attempt to feed every couple of days. If it doesn't want to eat, any uneaten food should be removed.

The aro would eat when it has aclimatised to the new environment. At 16in & assuming it is in good body condition, it is ok even if it doesn't eat for 1-2 months.

brudder...fasting for 2 weeks is really nothing....it is just a matter of new to the big environment and it takes time to get adjusted....

what have your friend been feeding this aro?
