Super trouper, bro

It had been 2 and half long months n stubborn aro still dont want to eat a single pellet.

I intro 4 tin barb fish in same tank yesterday and they steal all the pellets.
This stupid aro just swim around with his head up without even want to bite it

Bro, is there way, i can force him to eat?

You might want to try another pellet if you wish to continue on this path.

Probably, you can insert the pellet into the mp & feed it together to the stubborn aro.

Hi Streetsmart73.
Finally I tried insert pellets in MP on last weekend.
Good new, stubborn aro eat it the moment it drop to tank.
Bad new, he slit out pellets

I will try to make pellets into powder and insert in MP next few days - finger cross.

PS: I just notice my Aro has kind like burn on his pelvic fin - this is normal?

Bro, insert one single pellet deep inside the mp.

Shall appreciate it if you can download a clip on your aro.

hehe, I am too greedy to get him eat more.
Yes, I insert a pellet in half of MP, look it took it completely


Here is some quick pictures of the pelvic fin burn - sorry for blur images as mine phone is not iPhone X





Any idea?

Good on you, finally getting your aro taking pellets.

Go slow with it.

Looks like some infection on the pelvis fin.

Doesn't look too serious.

Daily wc should do it

Bro, most of the time, the main cause/culprit: bad water parameters.

Once you can manage the water conditions, it will be smooth sailing.

Mulitcure can help.
