My silver arowana bites its tail and it has chopped it into half. Now it has stopped eating for the last 10 days. It is about 1.75 feet long and is a year and half old. Water is clean.

I have even tried deworming and changed the water.My tank is 7 x 2 x2 wide.

Suggestions welcome

Tail biting can be cause by keeping a aro in a tank to small which sounds like this could be

When a aro turns in a small tank it can see its own tail and thinks it's another aro so attacks

I would have given the same advice 4 years ago put it in a bigger tank 2ft wide is to small for a aro this size
