this really sucks.. just last month my aro started getting fin rot in 55 gal. i was planning on putting him in 150 gal but his sickness held it up.. i got maracyn and maracyn 2 and the rot withered away.. i threw him in the 150 and he looked beautiful. i recently(recently) had to remove overflow because of a leak, so i resealed overflow and let dry for a day.. i looked in tank today and noticed that his gills were curling back a little... SO FRUSTRaTED!!! any aro doctors out there.!!?
my jardini is prone to illness!!

It's a newly set up yank that was cycling for about 3 weeks. I did 40percent water change before I threw him in. And I recently just did change. There was hardly any debris in tank. Is therea better way to kill amonia with out doing constant water change?
it's very very talked about. it's called basic aquarium maintinence. water changes do not combat ammonia. google "aquarium nitrogen cycle". change 50% a week. more often if you want. i do all my tanks at 60% 2x a week and have very very few problems if ever.
How long have you had him and how big is he? Also, when you cycled the the tank for three weeks, did you put some cycling fishes in there? Do you use Prime, Amquel or some form of nitrate, nitrite and ammonia remover when you change water?
