Thank you for all your replies. I lower the water level to half .stop the sump tank. He still not improving. Park at one corner sometimes swim one round. eat less than before. Should i top the water to on sump tank as the tank got no filter. I am in dilemma.

The scales will heal, she will eventually eat and start swimming again. I think everyone has their own experiences with their fish. Listen to advice but know that it will be different for everyone. The only thing that everyone is right on is water params, keep the water changes, leave the water level so that you can run the sump for filtration and drop food, if she doesn't eat, take it out. Good luck bro. |

mine happened roughly on 20th March, these 2-3 days he started being more active and his appetite came back..... morning session 2-3 frogs, evening session 15-20 frogs and/or prawn.... lol I noticed mine now swimming actively at night when tank light on .... but during day time (mine is all black oyama covered except front)and tank light off, he usually stay 1 corner or come out for short swim... I never do anything special... just continue 2 - 3 times weekly water change, lower water height by 2 inches as he keep hitting the top and dropping scales... hope this helps |

just a thought bro.. i know it may not be possible since most of us are working during the day..
instead of feeding him alot of frogs in one seating maybe can release the frogs 1-2 at a time.. throughout the whole day? encourage his.. hunting mood for my aro, i will only feed him after i get back home after work in the evening.. one "large" meal.. when his super full he will just park himself infront of the wavemaker and just swim at the same spot.. "cruise control" but on weekends when im home..i will feed him in two times (smaller meals) and realised he is more active throughout the day like the shifus said, i think most impt is to have good water and your aro will improve |
