I put him in my 15 hex with my lil parrots and front and bubmle bee cat, and watched it very very close for the past 3 weeks and no one picked on anyone everyone ate fine and everything I check every morning and night. Well when I went to bed last night I checked again everything is fine, I wake up and check the tank this morning and out of no where something attacked my aro (guessing the evil parrots) and :cry: its so baddd his fins are uneven causing him to swim funny and I have him in the hospital tank in the net with the lid shut b/c it holds him up correct so he does not float around and get stuck upside down I held him up for awhile and stuff and then did that and I put the mela fix and prima fix in b/c I have to treat my other fish in there and I am hoping that might maybe help fix him if he can stay upright... I dont want it to dieeeeee it made me so happy :cry: my first very own aro of mine!! arghhh. I think I am gonna get rid of those evil demon parrots! :swear: anyone have any suggestion on how I might possibly save this guy??
 
I invented the keep the fish uprightanator.....

It has enough water for the fish to live and swim, but not enough water for it to flip its self upside down up enough water that the bubbler can keep the water flowing and ciruclating and the water is from its normal tank and the med water to help it so it adjsted fine and its looks the best it has all morning, the sad thing is that this is the best it looks: :( (hoping I can save him!!)

I think that is just one of those things that you are going to have to be patient with. But as long as he is eating I think that he will get over it. The meds in the water should help to ward off infection... maybe a couple teaspoons of salt too... and keep him well fed.

I wish you two the best...
 
I think you are doing what you can, good luck.
 
ouch! he looks pretty rough...good luck, i hope he pulls through.
