Aro seems "itchy"

blackghost · 01-08-2009, 10:18 PM

hi guys.

might be a little paranoid. aro now swimming about... not really jumpy already. i sat in front of the tank.. notice a white worm.. wriggling about.. just 1..

den seems like my aro like to play with the water flow. and saw him move against the pipe.. could i be facing a worm infestation? i saw him "scratch" himself once.. in the 10-15 mins i in front of the tank..

other wise.. he seems playful with the water flow..

really dunno whether it's a disease.. i added salt.. hopefully can stem this in the bud... any comments from masters here? or is it i'm being to paranoid?

Nothing serious and quite common for fresh water fishes. U may add anti-itch med and salt and set heater temp to 30-32 Celsius to address tis problem...oso do lookout for white spots for all ur fishes..
