i've lowered down the water level, my airstones at its max now 1 inside the divider with aro near the head, another just outside the divider, and last near the tail section.

although i'm not optimistic that it will pull through as its very weak now and gill movement has slowed down tremendously. But its tough.. its not going down without a fight, he's been fighting for almost 3 hours liao.

thank you.

Like I mentioned earier on, keep the airstone away from the mouth. As long there's circulation it's enough.

hi bro aro_craze,
zeolite was there previously due to the ammonia spike in March, but i removed it last week b4 medication.

usually zeolite or active carbon is left to clear up the unwanted things in the water for arnd 2weeks. after dat it will be like a time bomb. if leave it too long, the unwanted things will build up n released back in the water. usually its adviced to use it once n discard it. maybe dats the reason y ur aro flipped. the unwanted was released back in the water n ur aro cannot take it anymore.

in ur case, ammonia builds up n realeased it big time in the water like an atom bomb

thanks to all bros for your advices and words of encouragement.

aro did not make it. final dimentions of rtg 15" x 4" x 2"

so sad.. my dad commented that seems like when i'm leaving sg, my aros will have problems, last G2 aro also died last year just 2 days before i leave sg.. sigh... now need to clean up tank and pack my stuffs, tomorrow still got early morning flight to catch.

goodbye my dear kim kim.

thank you again everyone.
