Might need to look at the root cause of the problem... My Aro had lice from feeder fish and kept rubbing it body and scratching it's body on the filter... Could not see the lice then till it got bigger... Tried all... Pirma & Melanin before then when I could see the lice it was only then I was able to do the right treatment and got rid of the lice... With fungus you must also keep good water conditions to aid the recovery of the fish.
Hope this helps... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

care to elaborate what u mean by water parameters are fine? coz if they are indeed fine there's no reason to change water daily... sometimes stable conditions would avoid stressing it further and speed up recovery.
plus u said u dosed yellow powder... if u dosed in your main tank then there goes your biological filtration... in that case then u would need more water changes but make sure to use a good AC or u'll end up releasing more ammonia from the chloramine. aro jumping and scratching / losing it's scales is pretty common and nothing to worry about... dont need to dose or treat anything especially if your water parameters are in check. just maintain a stress free environment + good water and it'll heal in no time. more often than not the problem is made worse when ppl treat their aros when there's no need for treatment. |
