Fish are skittish when the water parameters aren't how they like it which also leads to loss of appetite due to this stress try checking your water and nitrates

Update on silver arowana
It's fins are almost fully grown on the bottom the top has two separations which may never grow back sadly.
It's about 13 inches and I'm makin plans on building it a nice pond.
Eats arowana pellets crickets mealworms. I tried market shrimp but it bites and spits out.
