Do you have a video of the Aro swimming?
Sometimes it can be the things on top of the glass covers, such as the lights etc

Does it swim freely around the tank especially to the bottom and to surface easily? If it struggles to swim downwards then have to monitor closely.

If your aro stays most time 45 degree afloat at water surface and hardly swim to the bottom, this is normally SBP.

Thanks guys sorry for the late reply, I was working my part time job almost whole day.

But previously the fish became like the picture on the first post, it just ate mp and some pellets (2-3hour before it became that) is it this the causes?

Thumbs up

bro, don't overly fret about it.

at times, our beloved aros do have some unexplained behaviours.

they do go off food and starve themselves over a period of time too.

as they feed and you maintain good water parameters, enjoy the aro.

, bro, I guess this is also part of the growing pain

btw, nice red. me like its bulk.

From your update pic, can see the red show no SBP.
Nice red and nice body shape.
