Well yeah, it says in the title, I feel bad losing my aro for being around 5 months with us, it's 7 inch long and a silver one, I actually have limited knowledge when it comes to fish or any aquatic marine species but let me tell you we had already bought 4-5 arows that had the same demise. Not only it is quite costy but the months it took for them to grow.
So .. I'm not exactly sure with our tank how much gallon it could give off, but my lovely arow's swimming is sonewhat spacious, I haven't feed him for 2 consecutive days because the store was close and I am unlucky to find other place. it's food were either guppies that lasts for 2-3 days while I gave my arow a worm thrice a day, and I am not sure if it's satisfied enough.
And this past days, noticing that my arow is being sucked up by the pressure of the oxygen, I already knew that my arow is probably at weak state, considering the pressure, it's not that powerful enough to suck it. I probably panicked a little, and came across 'here' at MFK, knew about swim bladder, so, what I did is re-cleaned the filter, re-filled the water (no chlorine), and cleaned the oxygen engine. The guppies were still there, and put my arow in my big laundry tub, put the oxygen there for some moments while I am cleaning the tank, then put it there again, I leveled the water a bit higher of its' height so it'll not swim upside down or heads up.
So ... I feel really bad for myself, I've done anything to save my lovely arow as what I've read here, yet I still dont know. Prayed that my arow could last, because its' showing resiliency to live, and I was hapoy, yet the next day? He swam heads up and some moments, saw my arow ... dead.
Can you please give me explanations,causes or whatsoever so the next time I try to buy an arow again, and I wont let those things happen again.
Feel really bad.
