yea, depending on what side of the light he was on he would lean into it.haynchinook334;3117002; said:
could the lighting be too bright? i know that sounds stupid but..
also could be a swim bladder issue-aros can breathe in air, and that oxygen goes to the swim bladder where there are tons of little capillaries in there-thats why if they jump out of the water they can live for a bit on that oxygen from the swim bladder.
are you doing regular waterchanges? is he eating ok? can you post a pic for us?
how does his body look? beat up and ragged fins or is he looking okay and clear eyed? the only thing else i can think of is a bacterial infection in the swim bladder-but then like other ppl have posted he may just be leaning to see the surface
i would dim the lights for a bit-see if he still does that behavior, since most aros are photophobic. i just dont know what else to tell you-maybe someone else here can help more!
