[biggie525]

went to feed my aro today and he didnt eat anything at all.. usually he attacks anything i throw in. then i noticed as he swam away i saw from the back about 3 to5 scales are lifted away from his body. its about 2 to 3 cm, slight gap.

what do you guys think, and what should i do.

im thinking some type of bacteria, anchor worm maybe, i up the temp and added some salt so far!!!

please advise!

If you are using the above as recommended by chief, use half the medication dosage as recommended by the manufacturer.

Alternatively, look for medication for aro that cure dropsy. Need to cure fast as it will not be easy to cure at later stage.

Good luck.

Option 2
Water change 30% , salt and heater set at 30C.

Option 3
try interpet No.9

any option that you chose make sure you use a heater set at 30C. refrain from feeding until fully recovered.

good luck.

sounds like dropsy... do WC, then add in medication... i would recommend AquaMedic #28... wont overdose, dont worry... usually will see improvement by the 2nd day... :wekk:
