Is this fish in the same tank as the ARSG?

Sorry guys, been out of the box for bit and now in travels. Mishka, bring the temp up to 88-90F. Make sure you got good air. You mentioned that you already tried raising the temp but how high?

[chaoslite]

Eddie,

I hope you had a good time! Where did you get to travel?

I raised it to 90 and nothing. I tried adding a bit of aquarium salt and nothing. So I am now trying Metro as of this morning. One of the Simply Sponsors assisted me in your absence. ;) Hopefully all will go well.
