after my silver hit 20" it seemed to get very layed back and slow...is this common amung aros as the age?...even though my 22"+ is only 9 months old...
 
well around the same age and size he is way slower then when i got him
all he does is swim from one side to the other slowly
 
mine does that and sometimes sits in a side for a min or 2 then moves on...i seen a 3'+ doing the samething(not mine)
 
my friend's 30" silver does the same. it's a jumpy fish though, and only seems to like some people.
i think that jardinies are the most fun.

seems to be the way of the aro then...i was thinking it could have been a side affect from when it jumpped out before...
 
mine does the same too..just sits in one corner and swims rarely but becomes very active during the night.i thought something was wrong with my silver but it seems everyone's does this
 
when mine was younger it would lay half on the bottom in a corner sometimes also, but it started that after the jump...it took a long time for it to stay at the top, thus my thinking that the slowing down was jump related...
