Today I Noticed That There Was Some Ting Strange On My Arowana Eye And It Look Like Air Bubbles
I Cannot Get A Pic
On One Eye There Are Bubbles And There Is A Little String Attached To Some More Bubbles On The Next Eye There Is Just Bubbles

What Is This Called?
How Can I Treat It?
 
Hi.. without a pic its really tough to say.. please try to post a pic.. and also if you could give more details.. what size aro, tank size, tank mates, is the aro eating, what sort of filtration, water parameters(exact values and not sayin its fine by looking at it), water temp,decoration, driftwood, gravel, anything else you think that would be useful..cheers
 
Probably hit the eye on something. The only time I have seen this is in a couple of my cichlids (trimac and a RBsnook) after they had been in fights or got beat up. One, a trimac, never had the bubble go away. A female snook which got beat up, healed up but still had a small scar on her eye.

Not sure what to tell you to do, except expect more things like this the bigger that arowana gets in that 55g tank.
 
yes melafix will cause foam.
 
Update?
