Sorry Charles, im not sure if it is me who doesnt listen... as I would like to say once again I am in the midst of final exams. If time allows I will get the water parameters.

I'd suggest to take the 10 mins to check your water parameters, as busy as you are, as it could save your fish's life.

Cheers,
Chris

Thanks, did one really quickly.

My ph is low, 5.5-6.0 range
Nitrates about 0.4mg/l
Ammonia - 0

Ive just added some ph up and equilibrium. Guess ill continue with my twice daily water changes to lower the nitrates.

Ive got to get back to studying and I can only hope he gets better.

Thanks everyone

Water testing is much easier and faster to do than water change. It can tell you how your water is. We are all trying to help. Most of the time, when fish is sick, it is usually water quality. instead of guessing using medication, spend five minutes testing your water can save you te and money and un-necessary usage of medication.

I know nothing about keeping aro`s but do hope he gets better. With your heater being off, hopefully that will help to warm the tank back up as its been cold out. Again with aro`s can you turn the heat up a bit more, can they tolerate it?

To increase your PH to be stable, I use either crushed coral or oyster shells in the filter.

Good luck with your exams, my daughter is in the middle of hers too, before christmas break.
