I got my silver aro about a month and a half ago and he is doing greath. He loves eating(of course) and i usually give him Shrimp and Crickets... and the occasional rosy minnow and piece of chicken. But he seems to not like chasing them, probably cause hes lazy from all my hand feeding. His colors are great and hes not shy at all but my onlyu concern his he moves his bottom jaw a little bit when he breathes, he doesnt breathe fast just moves that jaw... is this normal?, do all your aros do it?.. is it a sign of stress?

heres some pics of my setup and aro.

very normal i would say. so dont worry. ussually happens after feeding right?

anyway I LOVE UR TANK SETUP !!! looks very amazonian..! very sweet!

however, the LMB needs cold water right? whats ur temperature in that tank?
 
The bass look's like it's in good condition!!
I really like it! Large Mouth Bass in warm weather are know to get worms!
PS nice pics!!
 
Sweet. If u do it right u can get the bass in warm water. Im doing it now I just took my heater out and got the water cold. Then after the bass was in I put the heater on and ever day or so i just turn it up little by little
