Should eventually heal up. Not sure if there will be any residual probs or not.
Arapaima Eye Wound

By the looks of it, seems that we are not of much help. It may get better with time Or remain like that. I would not worry if it's eating and acting normally. Whatever caused it, The damage has been done and we can just hope it gets better.
Try giving it good food and frequent water changes.
Good luck ?

Yes he is acting normal and eating fine. Im kinda Sus sometimes he could have banged into my Ripsaw ? have no idea.
Sad sight to see and I'm afraid there isn't much that you can do besides leaving it alone and giving it a chance to self correct/heal.I certainly wouldnt risk further damage by trying to push on it or something without knowing exactly what is going on behind the eye...can you get us a shot of the paima in the tank,at worst you may wind with a fish with a dropeye.
I transfered him to my 6ft temporarily for now. Few of my colleagues recommended me to use EIHO kana Plus to prevent any bacteria or fungus spreading on the wound and to monitor the eye. Till we get a proper solution from someone who experienced something similar to this and treated.
Update-
Thank you everyone for helping me in this case, the arapaima is recovering.
