ohhhhhh! :D

ok then, that kinda explains it.

get them out of the contain ASAP, if the water they are in isnt much different in parameters from the tank, go ahead and dump them in. aerate the hell out of the TANK water and if you can hold them without fighting run a powerhead flow over there gills, the anestetic will wear off and they will snap out of it. my guess is there is still be enough anestetic in the container to keep them on there backs.
 
will try asap

That sounds good Del.. i can amagine the water is filled with it and also polluted and not enough oxygen...i sure hope this works Del but definitly telling miguel right.. thanks DEL.
 
well, its one of my sons holding a pump, the other holding the aro, botha afraid of the aros's and me typing when I let go she still turns upside down....
 
the problem is when she gets free of the holding hand she swims around in jerks and then again belly up
 
still the same. on front of the power head..breathing...when let loose, erratic swimming in jerks and then belly up, with part of the belly out of the water..a buoyancy problem....
 
I don't thinl she' going to make it...the moment i let loose, up she goes , fights a little, some jerky swimming, and then belly up...when she is belly up she doesn't manage to righten herself back up on her own....
 
I think the only thing you can do is get a lot of air in the water and keep on her with the powerhead. Good luck.
 
some problem must have happened with this shipment..my RTG is also starting to come up, although not turning...but a little of the back out of the water..

Jeesus...
