24" silver going to the promised land

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Dont bother, ive never seen any aros recover after doing the "headstand" its almost a 99% chance that there going to die... sorry bro, best of luck.
 
this is the hated swim bladder problem
but try your best
switch of the lights of the tank
try to keep the tank as clam as possible
don't feed for a few days
remove any tankmates
and cover up the tank so that he isn't spooked
 
Sucks to hear mike, that's what my black aro did right before he died. Sorry man:(
 
Hold on... don't put him down yet. Mine jumped out when he was about 16", landed 5' below on hard tile and sat there in the middle of the night for quite a while until the dog woke me up. He was almost dry and barely breathing when I put him back in. He did the headstand for about 1-2 days and then slowly came out of it. It was about 3 weeks before he ate again, but he survived. Just let him be.
 
lower the water level and up the temp to 86-88 make sure you have plenty of airation

their is hope i have had 2 diffrent aros with swim bladder problems both recovered
 
thanks guys
tried some salt and oxygen but came home from work and he was gone.

Now i must cry
oh well such is life in the hobby fish come and go just enjoy them why you have them.
