update my aro is still alive but looks the same. the only difference is he is trying to pass feices and its a long string of bright yellow. it has never looked this way. its usually little red pellets. can anyone explain this could he have a digestive problem? if so whats the cure?
You can only observe for now. I guess too much chemical in there screwed up it's digestion as well. You mentioned feeding before the water changes ansd the adding of chemical??
 
its call ascites. caused by bad meat or sharp objects. treat with anti bacterial med and pray I guess. he is more active today though trying to swim a little more. I quess the stomach swells and puts pressure on the swim bladder and thats why he sits vertically. I think I am doing everything right though. thanks

i had an aro do this
he pulled threw
i just added salt
 
holy crap a ray of hope. I don't want to get my hopes up though but that just made my day. thank you.
 
can i mix melafix and tetracyclene? I read that tetracyclene is what to dose with for this condition.
 
well no change today so I lowered his water level to twice his hieghth I will leave it like that for a while and then slowly add water. I have to keep my ammonia down somehow but my filter won't work at this low water level so hope it works.
thanks
 
getiting worse. I am trying epson salt tomarrow so we'll see. it doesn't look good though. thanks
