what ever you have done it has worked

i have only seen this happen to a aro once

one year it was hunched over like your 1st pics then for 4 months it went back to normal then it went totaly the other way and its body started to drop in the middle

im not saying that will happen to your aro but what did you do to fix the problem

Both aros are on a diet of frozen shrimp, jumbo cichlid sticks, freeze dried krill, crickets and earth worms.

Really I did nothing other then top water quality and good diet. When I got this aro at 21-22" it had be kept in a 48" 90g tank with a 14" electric cat and a 12"+ pleco. The only filtration was a undergravel filter. Water params showed no ammonia or nitrites but the nitrates were through the roof. You can also see it had a good case of gill curl too.

The aro has DE in it's right but not in it's left
