Default Aro Sudden Gill Curl

Hi people, hope someone can help me with this issue.
Just now at about 7pm was looking at my aro and he was perfectly normal.
Then i threw a bullfrog to feed him and after he ate the frog, the soft part of his gills curled up totally.
I tot that this would go away after awhile but its been 2 hours and its still the same.
My water parameters are ok, and even though it is water problem, the gill would curl slowly. my aro's gills were normal before i fed the frog and after he ate it, it curled up totally.

any bros here experience this before and can advise on a remedy?

Did any water testing to confirm water parameter is fine? Clear water doesn't mean it's fine...

bro koji is right, normally gill curl is due to water problem. if just happen take care of the water and the gill curl should recover by itself.
