Tks to all bros,

blood streaks from gills a bad sign...in this case caused by an injury.

If you are running a heater, please do not operate above 28 degree C (26 is better). Please bubble the tank for several days. Observe for infection example gill fungus or fish panting. Add 'Fish-Guard' if you have it to 'lubricate' the gills tissue.

With due respect given to some 'water treatment chemicals', i avoid use when a fish has gill problems/injury. Gills are extremely sensitive.

melafix would be good.

Give her some time. I notice that big aros, once stressed or moved to new environment, take a longer time to start to eat and stabilize.

Just keep water good, with melafix and a little salt should be fine bro.

Tks to all bros,

[jcchia]

Will monitor the situation and on high alert.

Really regret for not taking care to avoid shocking her.

Tks to all bros,

Hi bro jcchia, Pls reply the Magic Trace 2 days once with not feeding at this moment(for 2-3 days) to maintain the water quality and increase her anti-body. Don't add in any chemicals product yet. Let us see the result after 2-3 days before we add in aid product.

Thank you.
