my aro is now hunched, apparently with a bent spine. im not sure how this could have happened. not sure bcs of tank size bcs the pet shop where i bought him put their arowanas in 2 foot in length tanks. will my aro straighthen as it grows older since its still a juvenile? currently in a 3 ft in length tank. oh its been like that for 2 weeks already. i bought him a month ago.

I don't think the spine will staighten
 
My Xback had a hunch back a little less like this and it became fine within3 days!
 
NOTHING!!!!:headbang2
well mine was not as bad as yours...and i dint get it with a hunch it could have got injured somehow during catching live feeders
 
are u planning to upgrade? A 3 foor tank is way too small for aros. Ur aro is going to bump into the tank glass and bent its back even more.
 
it's cruel keeping a Arowana in a 2ft or 3ft tank, this will be why it has a bent spine, if it is not put into a suitable sized tank it will get all sorts of problems, it looks like a pretty good quality arowana I would get it in a bigger tank as soon as possible, it should be a nice fish
