My Aro need help

[Mitsu.Ralliart]

Haha ok ok i tot
No reaction from him even when i switch on e lights. But if i switch on both nan n FL lights, it looks like he's stress n like on wacking e STs. So i onlt switch on either one of the lights for e time being.
Will try to get a test kit.
Thks bro.
Can check w u, is it ok to use carbon filter during water change?
I have been using it for water change for my planted, discus and goldfish not too sure whether it will harm my aro or not. Cos i have heard that carbon causes harm to aro but not too sure abt carbon filter.
This is a link to how a carbon filter looks like:

hello bro...i think that gadget shown on that site..........is a tap water filter...so you dont have to "age your water". Anything that goes thru that.........water is chlorine free....and others too.

some bros uses that.........so I guess...its ok to use it for your aro.

That gadget is pricey tho


Activated carbon used as a media in canisters/ohf/etc....MAY or MAY NOT...cause Hole in the head of aros. Some swear that it did...but some dont agree. But just to be in the safe side.....just use activated carbon as a media.....to purify your water..from meds and etc......and used only for a couple of days.....then remove

hope this helps

I bought that gadget for $88 after a water change in the mid of last year that wipe out most of my discus.... So i got no choice but to get in. So far so good.
I dun use activated carbon unless e water is yellowish.

tetra or red sea. i find red sea very good.

by the way, my water is crystal clear but ammonia, nitrite low or zero.
however nitrate is 100 ppm.

will solve this today...

no matter what must test water one unless you got superb filter...
(I am already using eheim 2260 for a 4 feet tank)

good luck
