a couple of weeks ago, I removed my big silver from DE pond and put him in my 300g in an effort to slow the fights between my other two adult aros. Meanwhile, I had picked up another silver, hes in rough shape, fins, DE, posture, stunted, poor diet, the works- so after I post this Im off to take the two patients back to DE pond, to let them mend abit- I think Im going to put a quick fence or cover up also-
heres a pic of the 300g before taking the silvers out for therapy- and then, this time for reference a shot of both sides of their heads, Ill do it in seniority order-

Nice Aros and setup, Jim. :)
 
Good luck with these guys.

Are there any other fish in your pond? How much surface activity is around the pond?
 
the 31" and 18" silver aros share the 600g pond with 2x18" floridas, 3x10" albino IRs, c. batrachus, 9 or 10 various sized and type plecos, new guppies daily in the filter and pond, and a green sunfish-

the filter has a 3/4 HP pool pump pushing it, and the water drops from the filter from around 18" up, so there is some pretty good water movement from it-


aznkidang, its worked many more times than it hasnt for me out there- but something hit me earlier today- there is probably several ways or combination of events for an aro to get DE... I wonder if DE pond only rehabilitates certain ones- tough to prove or disprove, especially when the background of the fish isnt always known-

I made a video of the pond with some narrating, and it was good while it was on my phone,but it looks sideways on my computer, and the rotate keys arent highlighted or working, does any one know how to right it?
 
when you download it to your computer, try to right click on it and rotate it (not sure if it will work on Vids but I do it with Pics).

If your downloading stright to YouTube from iPhone then you might have to send it to your Computer/email and fix it :D
