Help, arapaima's one eye injured he is currently 2.5ft in length. I have no idea how this happened. Have few driftwoods in there. He is in a 1000 gallons pond for now.
 
Wow it looks like it banged into something. It looks something like dropeye. You can try pushing The Eye back, Try using clove oil or smthg first. Medicine won’t help it seems.

I tries that but didnt work. And we dont have access to clove oil here in Sri Lanka.
 
If I’m not wrong Gpdriftwood Gpdriftwood has an arapaima. Maybe he can help. tlindsey tlindsey kno4te kno4te Deadeye Deadeye may also know. The only way imo is to push it back.

My first time seeing something like that on a Arapaima. I agree with Caveden Caveden possibly banged into something don't think anything but maybe surgery might correct that.

Looks injured. Make sure it eats and watch.

He is eating fine and body language is normal. Eye shape looks normal but a piece of skin connected to the internal skin of the paima looks injures. I have no idea what to do. ?
