my silver arowana is swiming weird he is swiming with a little tilt just a little he used to swim straight when i mean straight i mean like swiming foward. idk i know its not the current he eats fine swims fine but its just that tilt.
 
Possible recently banged his head?
 
alright i'll make a video its hard to understand but i'll try to get it to you guys. i heard him bang his head before on my glass canopy as he jumps but he still swims fine tho

ok its kinda hard to notice but just keep on watching as he tilts his body maybe to the left or right.
 
i think its because of DE.. i saw some at LFS with DE and it will tilt towards the eye which is looking down btw thats serious DE

Really? So then why don't all aros with DE swim in this manner?

One of my big Silver Aro has serious DE on one side, swim perfectly fine. My guess is the lighting position is affecting the swimming posture or it hit it's head pretty hard somewhere in your tank.
