Arowana is Sick

[MFM]

Well, my silver arowana looks like he has lost his slime coat and he has stopped eating. He is not scared by anything anymore, and he swims lower to the ground. I have put max airation in the tank and have started large water changes. Please help...

anyone have info to help get him back to health? He is getting worse..

 

[bongko]

is there anything wrong with your water parameters? when did the symptoms start and how long have they been going on? a quick water check and some pics might help others figure out what could be a problem

What is wrong if his tail floats upward?

Then in 95% of the cases, your aro is near death. Gas bladder malfunction is one of the biggest signs of close death.
