Baby Silver Arowana

[Convict Cichlids]

i just bought a baby silver arowana and when i bring it home both barbels are curled like into a c shape
it is also missing some fins

Would his barbels fix?

How long would it take for him to start eating?

Hard to help without pics...

Didn't learn anything from your first go around with baby aros. Why even buy a damaged fish? Need pics to give comment regarding your questions.

looks tiny, let him settle in a bit. Then worry about it if its still not eating.

Can't really see anything, only time will tell with the barbels.

Would He Recover?

 

[Bderick67]

With proper care the fins will grow back, the barbels look to be deformed. Hard to say what will happen with them. Why would you buy a fish in such bad shape?
