Sick silver arowana.

Well I was over a buddies house thus morning helping him move and I noticed he had a six in silver aro in a bag in a regular box. It was in there 2 nights. Ling story. Anyhow. I have it now and it's floating in a tank I'm treating with fungus buddies by tetra. He is swimming head up in the bag and only the tip of tail is moving? Ammonia burn? I was wondering what the pros would do to bring him back if possible. It's super skinny and is still floating in bag in a heated 42 until I get home from work. I hope he's alive. What is the Best treatment for him if he is still alive when I get home? Only have a hour break so can go to lfs if needed.

Thanks for the advice. Just let him out of the bag now. Fungus guard and epson salt. Left him in the bag this morning because the water temped out at 67• in bag this morning and thought he would just plop dead if I dropped him into 84 degree water. He's still alive bent at a 90 degree at bottom. Feel bad.

Well he's alive still but not swimming around. If he doesn't start swimming by tomorrow I bought some clove oil and will put him down. Don't beat the guy up to much. At 35 with 5 kids things just got hectic for him, he bought a tank off Craig's and was forced to take it. He does galaxy rasboras and mixing with aro not a option.

He swims around occasionally but still sits at the bottom quite a bit. Put a few guppies in to keep him company. Raised temp to 82. It seems like his breathing started to slow down and mouth no longer gaping. Fingers crossed.

Correction. Temp raised to 86.

Running a emperor 280 and aquaclear 110 on a 42 gal bowfront. Also a whisper air pump with bubbles and a aquaclear 404 powerhead. Do I need more?
