Welcome aboard
How did you clean the aquarium and was the aquarium fully cycled?

Do you mean you added Dechlorinator? Your baby Aro is in danger if the aquarium wasn't fully cycled. Test water parameters asap. If you don't have a freshwater test kit take a sample of water to the lfs to be tested.
Right now you are doing what is called a fish in Cycle.
