need advise with my 10 year old Xback
Need advise with my xback
experienced ammonia spike last week as i removed some Bio media from the filer. I have since added Seachem safe, will either remove some fish , or add back some more media. my problem is my xback seems to be behaving wierdly now Not sure what to do, could it be he suffered some injury or damage?
anybody encountered this before? I'm thinking this is a male aro? so its not thinking of laying eggs? Last edited by Dave57; 30-01-2018 at 11:13 AM. |

are there new fishes or furnitures in the tank?
is there something new outside the tank? The arowana seem to be uncomfortable, maybe afraid of something new? Those big blood parrots are very heavy bioloads, I would suggest adding more bubbling to improve water quality.

i think i need to remove some parrots, they do make a lot of mess too. but only thing that happened before the change is the ammonia spike last week, might be due to me removing some media. later I'll open up my canister to clean too. |

Bro Squid, my 7 yrs old Red, min min passed on 15/11/2017.
Its behavior was more or less like your xb during its last 3 months. Refused to feed too. Honest, I was overwhelmed |
