Looks like you spent alot of work on a tank that they are going to outgrow rather quickly

My thoughts, as well.

It looks nice, though. I like the dimensions.

Hi what do you mean by too high, I though it required a big tank/setup?

3 days ago I noticed a white mark on my Arowanas head after research I found out it was head rot and to remove any active carbon I have in the filter which I did immediately and to my surprise the white marks look much better today and I can already see improvement…

So anyone whose Arowana has white marks on the head associated with head rot disease remove the active carbon immediately….

I have been starving him from 2 days now only giving him JBL sticks which he refuses to have… Past 3 weeks I have been feeding him meal worms and some live feeders (Comets) as well but after some reading it is advised to keep a stick/pellet diet with occasional live and other treats so that’s my aim but I am also afraid he hasn’t eaten in 2 days now!!!!

Some people lower their water level below the lids of their aquariums for arowanas, in an attempt to reduce/prevent injuries from jumping into the lids (which can happen a lot during feedings), which I think is what they were referring to.
