HELP!!!!!! aro is still alive

[dodgefreak8]

bro, i would suggest you try to position your aro in an upright position. Meaning that you try to use something that is heavy like bricks, etc to sandwich your aro to an upright position (enough strength to hold the aro will do). with that, place an aeration right in front of your aro......Once your aro is feeling better, he will swim out by itself.....

At the same time, try to do water change of 10-15% daily.....this will help to clear all toxic in it and get the water perimeter right......dont forget to add in salt and increase the temp....

Hope that your aro will be able to pull thru.......

thanks for the reply,
my aro is holding himself vertical on the bottom of the tank now. he will still lay over periodically. if I tried to wedge him in somthing he would just swim away. I am doing daily water changes and adding salt and epsom salt. along with melafix. I just recently lower the temp back to about 82 to raise the disolved O2 level in the tank. I hope he continues to get better all I can do is watch. I also hope he eats soon. its been about 10 days. thanks again

Cool! i just dont want you to dump too much stuff in the water.
Have you bumped up your temp yet??

 

[dodgefreak8]

I am keeping the tank at about 85 degrees. I am not adding anything else to the tank. I stopped the melafix when the cloud eye was gone. I am just letting him do his thing now and keeping the water clean.. thanks alot
