Aro neglected. Not eating well.. :(

03-06-2005, 01:56 AM

First and foremost, if i could talk to my aro, the first thing i would tell it that i'm sorry for neglecting it due to busy work schedule and etc that i almost got no time for it everyday...

Now it's totally no mood to eat anything at all, the most it does eat is like 1 cricket a day? or sometimes don't even eat at all... Right eye turning abit "foggy" and etc...so sad

The last time my filtration was screwd cos i did not change the CR for 2 years when i was using cheapo stuff...hence i realised the filtration and BB doesn't seem to be cultivating...

Now i've already bought eheim substrate pro and higer grade CR, water is crystal clear and very very nice and clean. but still..aro no eat

It just suffered from hole in head which i managed to cure after putting in some effort...but then...now still mood very poor and don't want to eat...

Pls help on this matter if anyone has advice?
And also..how to cure blur-ed eye? (sigh...)

Last decision that might come to me is to sell away my beloved aro to a new owner who can have more time to take care of it compared to myself

Your aro seen to have goen through alot of medication treatment. And it could be one of the cause that make it not eating much at all.

As for teh cloudy eye thingy, try not to use any medication by maintaing a clean water enviroment and add salt plus raise temp to 30'C. See if it'll help?

good advice from a veteran

btw, cheap CR means ineffective in cultivating BB?
