How old your aro? Some aging aro cannot take this sort of 'shock'.

Could it be that when u dose the transmore, it accidentally takes in the dose of transmore directly?

Thanks. I also no idea what went wrong. I did everything as per normal. The only reason for using transmore this time was that he was jumping too much. My last 26 - 28inch that i moved few weeks back broke through my 2 ply bag and knocked his head very had and got very terribly injured. Soon after could not balance and similar thing happened. This round i didnt want to take same risk so i added transmore. Upon doing so the fish became mildly sedated.

I put him into clean water and woke him up fully. He was swimming so I guess that rules out shock?

If any bros can share some insight would be good

Thanks bro.. i dont think its a case of shock as i slowly added the transmore , and have used it few times to DIY operation on aro..

Any ways very very sien.. lost 2 big reds these few weeks when moving them with similar symptoms of going upside down..

Both were alive for many more hours after going upside down..

About 8 - 9 years old. Actually is it possible to get shock after waking up from sedation ? If so , is there any way to get them out of shock?

I doubt so. Used transmore for DIY operation quite a few times already. Touch wood.. all successful.
