bad fin rot on 6 inch arrowana

[Smok3o3]

My sil aro also had severe fin rot.
Maracyn II, salt, WC's did not work, even after 2 weeks.

I do not advise you to do the same as I did, but this is what I did to help heal my aro.
I took her to a aquatic vet. After a culture and further examination, the vet. Gave my aro a shot of amakacin. After 2 more shots from me at home, the fin rot healed completely.

thats good to know that it healed. Just wondering how much did that cost you. Im not sure if there is and aquatic vets where I live. That would be a great job to have..

The shots were 7 ea. Need 3.
The initial visit was 25.
The culture test, now that was expensive; 60.

Sometime ph and huge water change could lead to burnt rather than rot look on the fish.

my arowana is in the 10 gal now because 10 gal is easier to treat with marclyn or what ever its called. its mostly in a 50 gal because its only 6 inches long. i have been doing 20% water every 2-3 days and still the fin rot has not gotten better...
