My new aro

[liontammer]

Just got him yesterday for 20$. Kinda beat up but should heal up nicely not eating yet but it has only been 2 day since he was moved from his tank to the lfs then to my house hope you like and any tips would be cool as well. He is in a 125 with a ornate about the same size and a small pb.

Nice! That price is a STEAL

i asked them y so low and i was told because the fins were beat up and there wasent much of a market for them it was a trad in you can see the its anel fin is shredded pritty bad. the guy that had it traded it in because it was eating all his oscars

So now it looks to have bass on the menu. Good luck, but jardini have been known to not tolerate tank mates.

i was worried about that and have been watching them close and have a tank on reserve if he starts charging the bass. but what i am finding funny is that thay are becomeing tank mates thay set rite next to each other and will swim together lol. thanks for the heads up that is one reason i posted this because i know how to care for him i just dont know much about them well in the experience field i have read up on them but a book will only take you so far if you know what i mean

looks like it bite mark?
any tank mate that possibly do that in the tank?

my ornate might have but it looks fuzzy so it leads me to think of some kind of rot. i just dont know how to treat it he is in a semi planted tank and i dont have a tank big enuf to move and treat it

Try raising the temperature and putting a teaspoon of aquarium salt per 5 gallons.
