The aro's recovery time will be greatly prolonged because of stress. You would have much better results getting the aro into a tank larger then 20g. Eithet get your 90g divided, get another tank or out the healthy RD in the 20g for a few weeks until you have another tank.
seem long week medication..
..i hope 4 the best..yup..never test fish..anyway, he need to eat, that would boost the recovery besides medicine..keeep update and good luck..

the jar is in a 20g??? how big is the jar? and how big is ur rd?? it's not impossible to have jar and cichlids living together, but it's gotta be under the condition that the jar is the dominant one. because cichlids know to find shelter for em'selves (of course u'll have to provide 'em with caves, driftwoods, plants, wutever that works), they can hide when jar chases after 'em, but not the other way around. there's no place for jar to hide its elongated body.
and if u can put ur jar in a 20g, and by the coloration of it, ur jar's gotta be still pretty small. jar's personality take a 180 degree turn when it grow to a certain length...some say 11" mark, some say bigger, but da is true for almost every case. until that turn around in personality, jars are actually very mellow and sometimes timid even. there is just no chance for a jar to defend itself against an aggressive cichlid, let alone a rd!
as far as the recovery goes, i've seen much worse cases that have fully recovered. take my recently acquired festae for ex. the previous owner took it out from the bottom of the tank thinking it's for sure a goner. large areas of scales missing, skin torn, flesh showing. all fins have been chewed up to the end, the whole fish turned white and she was just lying on the gravels not moving wuz so ever. but after a few month of recovery, it's about 80% healed. now she's in my care, i'm just tryin to complete that 20% which is a tough job.
wow, i think i wrote too much, well, good luck with ur jar's recovery, they're tougher than u think, and let it out of that 20g asap please!

the jars only like.. 6 inches 7 at the most and hes only in there to chill out for these next two weeks til hes more calm im going to put a divider into the tank to seperate them cause i just went to look at a 180gal its going to cost me.. $2500 + Glass Top Canopy + stand that doesnt include the filter, and one of the canister filter alone is gonna cost me roughly around $300

wow, 2500 for a 180g is way too much, u can get an acrylic ones that size for around 1100-1200 if u can find the deal, and i just got my marineland c360 filter for $95, just have to look for good deals
Look on craigslist !!! Even the people that are smoking something and have outragious prices are less than that, and they'll probably come with filters and the whole works
