Default Goodbye Rotty!

A sad chapter closed for me two days back when I decided that Rotty has to go to better hands.

She was neglected for a while as I spent more time on my discus. Alas, she came down with curled gills and one droppy eye. Rather than to rectify her gills and sell her for a better prize, I think her matured age made her a prime candidate for breeding. She has to pass her good genes on!

She is on in good hands with an experienced farm, and I hope she will be a mother soon.

I enlcosed a montage of this wonderful red aro who I kept for 5 years or so.

And with Rotty gone, I will close my aro keeping chapter, and concentrate on others.

All the best to my forum friends, and hope your aros give you as much joy, as mine did.

Rgds

This is one of the few indication of her high potential, thick body, good growth and coloration that deepens even her body increase in volume.

She keeps on improving ... with good diet, and that famous staple food introduced by us to aro market, superworms!
