1) aro is eating well
2) water parameters are good (pH, temp, anti-chlorine/chloramine, ammonia all ok)
3) i tried putting another of my aro into the same tank but his barbels are straight

Aro is still small.. should i trim the barbels or wait for another few months?

Don't take risk by trimming it oh....wait for few months first...but of course, water parameter must be tip top conditions...oh..

Bro, ur pg barbels started to curl is it? Mine curled since the day i bought it n the funny thing is tat b4 i chose it, its barbels r straight. Only when its in the plastic bag, it curled up till now....

Hey guys! Guess wad? I did 25% WC last nite, n notice dis morning, my pg's barbels not crossing liaoz... but still pointing towards each other.. in general, i feel after WC, its better...

Siao liaoz... my pg's barbels crossing again!!! Had did 25% WC, hw r?

Read this somewhere from this forum a few years back. Aros use their barbels as sensors when they are in the dark to 'feel around'.

Cover up all the sides of your tank for a few days and see if it will straightens because your aro will make use of its barbels. Keep it in total darkness.

Also, like alot of bros here said, your water parameters must be good to aid the process.

Cheers

There is one time my aro also cross barbel bcos of the current produce by the powerhead. but later is goes back to normal by itself.

paiseh bro
Now then saw ur thread.
Is ur aro stable and swim confidently inside the tank?
My ex-red when i bought it back from LFS, also crossed barbel. At that time, the aro is very timid and very unstable. But after conditioning the aro, the barbel straighten itself without meddling with the water parameter.
Just to share my humble experience

Thank all of you for your precious feedbacks... I did another 25% WC juz nw. will keep a close look at my pg's crossed barbels progress. Many Thanks bros...
