My Aro is very ILL ...Help it please !!
I think my Aro is dying.. Someone please help me revive its life.
I don't know hat has happened to it . I had changed 80 % water unknowingly and now it is in very sad state. It seems to be paralised till its tail. It is throttling and whobbling in the 2 by 1.5 feet tank which I have. It some times rests itself on its head with the tail towards the ceiling. Does this shows signs of some a deadly disease?? also it had hurt itself by jumping in the tank and hitting itself on the glass. I have put some salt in the tank for its speedy recovery. Please guide me to sail my Aro to revive its life. A request which all fish lovers cannot ignore. |

u changed too much water already. hopefully the aro is strong enough to pull thru. also ur tank is too small. In its current state, dun shift the aro to another tank whatsoever. the stress of changing tank most likely will just kill it. And please, use a good anti chlorine and dose according to 80% of ur tank volume. It worked for me once before. i'm using API stresscoat |

Get a board preferably those acrylic partition to hold it upright against the glass. Restrict it movement & put an air stone nearby. Stress coat anti chlorine does help. Meantime pray for the best. Hope yr Aro can survive this episode. In future do 30% WC max.

I had the same situation previously. My red became so weak I can literally lift it out of the water and it didnt even struggle a bit!
What I did was beside putting the API Stresscoat, I reduce the water amt to low level and put in black water. Also abstain from feeding during this period. |

Normally how much of anti chlorine is needed during water change.
To add in anti chlorine for amount off new water added or anti chlorine for the volume of the whole tank? |
