Hey everyone,
I left town for one night to visit my in-laws and I come back to a mess in my 180.

Firstly, my silver Aro has developed little bumps towards the rear of his body. Look almost like little pimples (not an eloquent way to describe it, but I'll post pics when I get home tonight). Anyone know what this might be, if it's serious, and how to go about treating it?

Secondly, and it's not really a disease, but the smaller of my two Odoe Pikes got bitten pretty bad by my Aro (one night without food and he thinks he can eat my $50 pike..:irked:). Now the little guy is swimming around fine, but I was wondering if there was anything I could do to ensure he recovers fully. I do plan on keeping the water pristine, and feeding him extra for the next few days. Any other ideas?

Would a bit of aquarium salt be a bad idea for this tank? I haven't read up on Aro's response to salt, and I have no idea how the Odoes will respond to it.

As always, any help you can offer is appreciated.

- John
 
could the bumps on the Aro be from the Pike and the Aro got pay back. As for salt it should be ok.
