why so fast move the aro to new tank? why not wait till properly cycle leh? NOw i think u just need to wait for the water to stablise lo...

Add black water, allow tank to be cycled, feed daily & swoop out the food which leftover / untouch. Let Aro get use to the environment. Be patience, it could be as long as 2-4weeks. Still continue to maintian good water parameter.

Your aro is still new to the new enviorment.Let it get use first.Some might takes up to 2 weeks.

This is what i do when i first tah pau / transfer an aro to a different tank
1. add in tank mates
2. no feeding
3. Try to immitate exactly the previous environment - like no powerhead........
4. Add in BW ( Optional)
5. Install a small light n leave it on for 24 hours a day
after 5 -7 days the aro eh appetite started coming back and is happily whacking all the food i throw in

good good... actually shouldnt use all of the existing water...
