Two aros together look nice.

he probably just need room to stretch out and some old fashion TLC. Great save!! Keep up the good work and get that bigger tank.

Ya, when I went to pick up this guy he pretty much sat motionless, very sad sight. Once in the 180g he seemed like he had to almost learn to swin again.

What size tank was he in? And could too small of a tank have caused his humpback?

Nice save and recovery dude!

Thanks all,

What size tank was he in? And could too small of a tank have caused his humpback?

He`was raised in a 90gallon (48" x 18" x 24") tank. In the year and a half the previous owner had him he grew from 6" to 22". I am sure the tank had something to do with the hunchback, in addition to his lack of swimming. I had never seen an aro that was so inactive. When I asked about it, the guy said "no he don't really move around much, just likes to sit and watch TV"
