Need help, While i was trying to transfer my arowana into another tank, it jumped out :( the drop was about 6 ft. It took me about 30 seconds to pickup the aro using my t shirt and drop it back into the tank

This really sucks!:irked:
I've added some tea tree oil, and also strescoat, anything i should be worried about? swimming looks normal.

Any other advise? I'm unable to add salt as i have some clown loaches in the tank.
 
Your arowana should be fine.. It's happened before, just make sure to check on it a little more vigorously for the first week to make sure nothing goes wrong. Other than that I think he looks fine.

thanks :) So far this morning he seems normal, and also quite hungry :)
 
mine did the same thing when i was moving to a treated tank...... I just keep the water clean and treated with Melafix for the missing scale. Should be fine.

Extra clean water. Do 2 or 3 50% water changes this week. Super clean water cures more problems than most of us realize.
 
good news ..glad to hear he is doing well
