My arowana sick its anchor worms or what?

[Aphrodate]

Should be able to see the worm. Looks like deteriorating scales or body rot. Any carbon in the water? Pull the fish and see if there is any external parasites and pull it. If not I’d try netting the fish out and clean with methylene blue or iodine or a topical antibiotic.

+1
Pull out any worm if present, if not try applying local antibiotics
Good luck .
And yes try removing carbon if present.

melafix or ParaGuard are good?

Methylene blue is best. Melafix won’t be particularly useful in getting rid of an external parasite. Not sure about Paraguard as I’ve never used it before

Netting a big aro is tough.. wouldn't praziquantel or levamisole work since this is regularding worms?

Melafix and paragaurd won’t work if it’s anchor worm.

Anchor worm isn’t a true worm if it’s the cause. I can’t see it in the photos. Maybe Duanes did. Haven’t established the cause yet. Prazipro won’t work for anchor worms. Believe levamisole won’t treat anchor worm. Need copper or dimlin.
