Add more antichromine or increase interval days or store the water first.

what have WC too much got to do with cloudy eyes? cloudy eyes is due to pH issue.

i tot is due to chlorine?

chlorine is chlorine burn. not cloudy eye. n chlorine will kill our beloved fishes if not properly dealt with. usually cloudy eye is due to pH issue. some could b due to bacterial infection on the eye.

n now is more of chloramine instead of chlorine being added in our water.

the fish keeping hobby is getting harder n harder cos of the large amount of chemicals being added into our water. this is an on going problem ever since new water was introduced into our tap water.

thanks. so do you age the water + antichromine before wc?


To threadstarter.
Your fish is very tokkong ... at first i even have the impression that it is a goldie rather than RTG. So where did you buy from, how much, and what size?
In aro forum also hardly see such nice photos of such nice aro... thanks for sharing.

Sure, shall feed it more often.

Yep, went to get the black paper at C328.

Thank you for your compliment.

No worries, have to keep shooting and fine tune your setup according to the conditions of the tank. The way we maintain the water is equally important. Any pics to share?

i dont age. i use direct tap water. but i use 2 types of gd n reliable anti-chorine/chloramine for my water.

Thank you for your compliment. Bought this aro when 2" at c328 4 years back. Can see the micro chip protruding out of it's body. Shine only at 4th level. Feed only once a week that's y still this size. Will feed more from now.

I siphon water out 15%. Top up using direct tap water, Only add salt. When aro starts breathing thru it's mouth, I'll stop and top up the remaining water the next day.

Haha, you're right. It's a 5 ft tank, took me more than an hour.

Saw some aro shots here in the forum, motivate me to shoot more of my aro.

Shall share here.

Nice HBRTG.
Are you sure it's only 14"? Sometimes, our gauging is quite off and it's larger than it looks. Best is to put a measuring tape against the glass.

If your aro is 4 yrs old and really only 14", it is likely undernourished. Most aros would hit 12" when they are 1 yr old if properly fed.

Most 4yr old RTGs and Reds should be near 18-24".
A sign of undernourishment would be large eyes in proportion to the head

Thanks, I :lovegrin: my aro. My bad, indeed it is still around 15". Shall update its growth here.

This is my 4th aro and intend to keep it for the longest time.
