Is it always going to be skittish?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Mine was the same way , 7 month later the aro is my friend and even if i have to move things around in the tank , it stay calm , i can even touch it if i want to ( i dont do it cause am afraid it might bite me) :)
 
Well it's not an issue anymore sadly, I lost the Aro and my Chocolate Cichlid this weekend due to a massive PH drop. (Or so I assume) I added 2 more 2 liters to my DIY Co2 and awoke to all the fish about gone, I quickly did a 50% water change as well as adding this that and the other. The Crap Factory Plecos lived along with the feeders and CAEs but my Chocolate and Aro are gone. :(

The PH is still crazy low @ 6.4 as opposed to the normal 7.0, not sure why. I don't know what it was at it's lowest as I began the water change before anything because I didn't want to waste time, didn't matter though. I had that Chocolate for over 2 years too.
 
Very sad to hear I feel for you, I can't stand to lose any fish.
