Yesterday my fish were all ok but this morning, my parents heard a sound and then saw my RTG the tail portion of the back seem to be slightly above water.

You can see it is really straining itself when I force it to dive lower into the tank. I initially suspected there is some hard knock against the motor pump but no external injuries leh.... When it swims the tail portion is like curving upwards not to the extreme lah but noticeable..

Oh forgot to mention it is in a comm tank. It hasn't eaten today, usually it whacks and snatches food from the more aggressive aros. Need help man, I am really worried. Any bro with advice? Water condition is fine since the other 2 aros are perfectly healthy.....

No problem brother, so long the thread is used for meaningful purpose and we can all share good info, you are welcome.

I hope that your aro will recover in quick time, can understand your feeling to see the beloved aro suffering.

Hi Everyone. Didn't receive too muc help from anyone less some advice from Bro Hobbit and broAqufanatic. ayway as a responsible member of AF I decided to share my experience about Aro having bent spine.

OK aterlearning that Aro gets muscular spasm due shock or fights, I thought hey something can be done since I have an arsenal of medication. So what I did was really simple. Drop heavy dose of Anti-stress coat on affected aro. Within the same night, the aro recovered. Now it is swimming perfectly normal and regain its appetite.

glad to hear your aro recover, what stress coat did you use ?

For mine, Derrick of Singa took back the fish and heal it for me. Heard that it recovered and is resting now. Thumbs up for the Singa farm for being so helpful. My SR was a Singa SR. Have not seen the aro yet but I am sure it has recovered.

Glad to hear that your aro is fine now ... good after sales service from Singa too.

what is the staple food of your aro ?

I use the one by Aquarium Pharmaceutical Inc. The one with Aloe Vera, Not too bad and recently got cheaper.

thks for the inform, but hope i wun need to use it

Bro, actually it is a good product, it is an anti chloromine as well and the aloe vera promotes healthy coating on the fish. Not expensive so it is really not too bad. Furthermore it is like more of a preventive measure, should keep one handy.
