IMG_0002.jpegI have an arowana vertical this morning. He’s still alive but vertical. I have him in a grow out tank with my discus set up. Is this from jumping or from something else? I’m currently doing a param test

Dang that sucks mate. Swim bladder infection would not normally lead to a quick death like that. Any signs of trauma? I’m thinking rammed the side wall or cover glass and got internal injuries or head injured. Dang shame brutha. Sorry for the loss 😑
 
Only thing was the front of its face and barbs looked bruised almost. I’m about 99% sure it rammed itself into the lid
