I've had a baby black arrowana for about 1.5 to 2 weeks. it is the sole member of the tank. Today, for the first time, I noticed that its tail was drooped downwards. It's mouth was still skimming but after its head the rest of the body was at an angle

What's wrong with it? The temperature is at 82 and the filter's water speed is really low, I'll perform a water change later tonight also.
Thanks
 
Have you tested your water parameters? What size tank is it in, how often and what size water changes? Is it eating?
 
15g the arrow is 1 of fish heavens 2-3 inchers. It ate 10 minutes ago and i did a 5 gallon water change Sunday.
its been on FD krill and FD brine shrimp, I didnt soak the food so i was wondering if its because of the expanding food, but im not entirely sure of that because its been ok for the time until now
havent tested paramters yet cus my dad took the test kit to work a while back
any tips?
 
Well if water params are ok then I don't know what to tell yo. I would feed freeze dried bloodworms instaed of the krill. The krill can have sharp parts that can injure you aro.
 
i ment plankton, but ill stay with the brine shrimp now.

Sometimes we swims normally, and sometiems he swims retartedly, but he doesnt rest retartedly like he was earlier, at least last i checked,

any experts wanna chime in? =D
 
Any update?
 
if you have a little tank your gonna need up to 300 gallons for that blue arowana but idk really just thought id mention it wont be black itll be blue and like 47 inches
