I read a book saying something similar to this situation. The book only suggested to raise the temp by 2 - 3 degree C.

On top of that, I personally would suggest to clean-up the media a bit.

See how it will go.

this post was long ago, but i think my aro may be going through the same thing right now...i just noticed a slight puffy bump below his right eye...

i did a wc n added salt...hope its not anything major...

I would quartine the aro only into a single tank, i.e. 75 gallon, increase the temperature to 82 degree and cover all side with paper and hopes it recovers. It is bacteria infection.
it will take time to heal.
Good Luck!
I seem this on a Jardine once....
