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 has an arapaima. Maybe he can help. tlindsey kno4te 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 possibly banged into something don't think anything but maybe surgery might correct that.

Looks injured. Make sure it eats and watch.

Im still speaking to a surgeon here, but still did not get any proper answer from them.

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. ?
