Another aro rescue....

Your new rescue looks to me that he/she could have some form of parasite. I would try feeding it pellets with Epsom salt solution soaked in them .As for the eye has it gotten any better ? That growth to me looks like flukes. Flukes are a pain in the arse ! Could be why it wasn't eating . A fish that is infected with flukes will go on hunger strikes. My prized Jag caught flukes somehow from my move. She refused to eat for a month as soon as I started treating her and a few days after treatment she began to eat . She did not show any signs of flukes until a few weeks later. Her eye looked exactly like your ara . Good luck with the little guy . Its sure awful how some people treat their fish but it is even more awesome that someone like you can save them
Been a while since I've been on here, so I guess an update is in order. The aro is eating very steadily on a diet of pellets and prawn. One eye is pretty much completely clear, but the other is still fogged over. It is improving, but at a very slow pace. I am not at home at the moment, but I will try to get some update pictures soon.
I shall call you Dr. Davis room 101. No really, I'm a big fan of aros, just sad when it gets neglected.
No one will drive 5 hrs. away for an silver aro that's nearly on its last line. RESPECT.
