Ok thanks for the advice, went to the lfs today and got some melafix just to help fight infections, he seems a lot more settled today, he has shed a couple of damaged scales, is this a good or bad sign?

It can't regrow good scales with bad in place so it has to shed them.
Just pondering how is it a rescue when you plan to get rid of it once it is healthy? Seems more like a business opportunity that knocked and you answered.

It's a rescue because it was in a tank barley bigger than him and in poor condition as you can see, the reason I can't keep it is because it would kill my jar. I won't just sell it to just anyone who pays, it will be a serious keeper with a big enough aquarium thats looking for a new addition to it. I have never said anything about profiting from it and I will probably be out of pocket after the treatment is finished without the extra effort with maintenance. If that's still how you feel I would rather not have your advice thanks...

Translation: if you have an opinion that differs from mine, you can leave.
No not at all, I appreciate everyone's opinion but I don't appreciate someone saying I am doing it selfishly for profit when I am putting myself out to help stop an animal from suffering. believe me the amount i will have to spend on treatments, extra water changes, feeding etc. I would have to sell it for a lot more than its worth just to get my money back! That's why I was a little annoyed

Don't take advise from me then. I am just pointing out that is is not a rescue for you. It is a helping pit stop for it. Actually if you got it for free, witch I think I remember reading that, you won't have much money in it at all before it can be resold. Maybe $20 in prime, $2 in salt plus food. Resale value of around $150 in good health. View it how you like, but a true rescue is for it to be in a new permanent home. I presently rescued a long nose gar. It was in a 35gal and was not fed properly. It is now in my possetion for the rest of its life and is giving a proper tank and food.
As for the aro you have. Best to have it alone, with covers on its pond. Clean water and the addition of salt wouldn't be a bad thing for it. A lot has been said already.
You may not want to take advise from them either because your annoyed by the truth. I know more then a few people thought it, but I said it. Good luck with that aro's transition to a good home.

It wasn't a cheap shot it was just what I saw and I know others thought it. I am bluntly honest. Your comment isn't advice either and it doesn't belong either. :thumbup:
