bro, is it a new aro u just buy? if it is, well i also have same problem. suggest to cover all your tank. front tank, put a cloth or newspaper for 1-2 months. then try to release few inches till the fish calm down.

maybe the aro is stress due to new environment.

[Kaix]

That is alway the problem of aro coz aro are good jumper...just add some blackwater to soften it and add air stone pump to give him more air

[rahimi]

Agreed :thumbs_up: try to calm your aro and make sure there are nothing insect play around on the water surface......on sometimes things like this can be happen.....:teeth_smile:

[Principal]

can also lower down your water, so aro can't jump out....

[rahimi]

Agreed !!!:thumbs_up:

Is your tank cycled before moving all the aro into it? If tank not cycled, the amonia level will be high and stress the aros. They maybe stress by the water and new environment.

[robinng]

yes, i had cycled the tank 2 days d4 i moved them in. why this still happened?

Check water pH and for current leakage.

If all is okay. Try using some black water and stress coat to calm your aro.

keep tank light off until your aro is more stable.

maybe do a 40% WC and use aged water to top up and some salt.

Err... maybe your kH and pH too high. Sudden change.

possible to remove some of the CC for now? and lower pH with BW or Ketapang leaves or Driff Wood?

Do a 20% WC over every 2 days top up with aged water (tanki water). Can give it a try.

when more stable put CC back in but little by little. Stop when pH comes to 7 or 6.8

May be they not use to the new enviroment, so need some time for the aros to get use to it, never eat for a week or 2 is ok. They will not die. Unless the water condition is very bad.

Try add some newspaper or clothes to cover up the tank, to make them more stable, as some bro mension above. They are right.

Most important check water condition.

Cover is a Must may be u can try add glass cover to the tank :)

I don't think you can cycled a tank in 2 days. Please refer to http://www.bestfish.com/newtank3.html

[monnieva]

there should be no sudden movements outside the thank as they are still scared of new environment....dim all lights until aro is familiar with new environment.....
