Lower your tank water to just above your aro and use a partition to help keep her upright...

ok lowered my tank water, but partition abit tough coz he still very strong and struggle when i try to turn him

Might be swim bladder problem.
Do a search on that in forum,I think one of the broad here have posted a surgery procedure before.

It's hard but got to try as some bros have done it before. This problem may lead to death if not corrected.

bro how long has your tank been setup? its not normal to have all 0 for the water parameters. if your bio filter is stablished, there should be nitrates.
also whats your tanks ph?

ok thks guys, have used a partition to keep him upright from yesterday till today, how many days is required?

Keep the fish there for a week or longer. Make sure it does not struggle or get free or it could float again. Check if the gills are moving hard, if so, add in airstones in the tank. Position the airstones away from the fish.

ok thks, gills are moving , hence have place airstone
heater in place, epsom salt given
should i aspirate some air from belly?

Have it been done to a frontosa as they get "float" problems easily for some species, but you got to know where to insert the needle.
For me, I've just let the fish stay still for a while and it was as good as new after. One week could be too short, but it may just do the trick. Not to worry about food, aros can last without food for some time. I suppose you can feed but do make sure the tank is very clean all the time. No sudden changes in temperature or shock to the fish as it is ill.
