You do know the chance of alligator gars killing tankmates is about 99% right...?

well he has been fine with out any problems for over a yr. i just want to know what is wrong with my silvers and what i should treat the tank with?

If you look at the pics you posted it looks like (to me anyway) that your aros heads have been scared pretty bad ... that being said what fish do you think would be able to do that ? I would put money on the gator gar, as maddening mentioned above.

okay then ill get ride of him but what do i do to treat them. the other forums are saying something completely different.

I may be totally wrong but I was just giving my opinion bro,

I really am unsure how to treat the aros ( never owned one )

but I am sure someone with more experience will chime in.

If I was to guess I would recomend , keep the water clean as possible, use melafix
but I like I said I would wait for a more experienced aro keeper to help

I would say Melafix as well, it doesnt look like something another fish did to me, more like some kind of fungus IMO..

 

[idle0095]

is melafix a good thing to use with cat fish as well?

Use pimafix. Looks like fungus.
