Parisites and / or Bacteria infections
Signs to look up for when Aro suffers from external bacteria or parasites attack
1) using its pectoral fins to scratch itself
2) continuous rubbing itself against the tank, filter parts or hard objects
3) regular dashing in the tank
Remedies
1) change filter media
2) regular cleaning of canister and filter medias with tank water
3) should you use cultured bacteria to speed up the maturity of the filter, add them directly into the filter media but not into the tank water with the fish in it
4) daily change of 20% of tank water with anti chlorine added.
5) add rock salts with each water change
6) add a bunch of Indian almond leaves or otherwise its "juice" from an aged water pail with a bunch of these ketapang leaves soaked over a few nights
Just my 2 cents. Hoped it helps and all the best.
