Gill curl surgery

[dudefish82]

Hello everyone
My arowana has gill curl only in the soft part
I have moved him to another tank and the water parameters a are fine..
Iam planning to do the operation . the stabilizer is ocean free arowana stabilizer... Should I follow the instructions and use the exact amount that will be needed for the amount of water in the bag where the aro will be placed...? Then I can add drop by drop until the aro becomes dizzy..
Anyone used this stabilizer before?
Please advice guys

I cannot comment on the Ocean Free Rowena Stablilizer since we primarily use Transmore or Tree Tea oil. As for the gill curl, you have 2 options...operate or leave it and improve / maintain your water parameters and it could heal itself given its only the soft part and does not sound very severe. Operating and not done properly could result in the curl recusing. Wait and it could get worse. Just pointing out the pros and cons.
