  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
yup, warm it slowly as suggested. keep dim, let him be. time will tell. Good luck!!
 
+1. Do not disturbed him, he will get more scare or stress

Just let the temp rise slowly and hope for the best

This happened to me with a snakehead, I forgot to plug it back in after a water change! He was virtually belly up when I realised and just floating around the tank.

I plugged in the heater and changed 20% with warm water just to try and make it survivable (mine dropped a lot lower than 60f) then just left the lights off and checked every hour, the next day he was back to normal :) hope you have the same luck

- just realised you posted yesterday so my advice was useless lol hope it pulled threw

Unfortunately Willis did not make it :( It is heart breaking but I finally had to pull him out of the water around midnight last night... He started floating, was absolutely non responsive, no gill movement and losing color... it was truly one of the saddest things I have had to do... I was so used to flash flooding water everywhere whenever moving him, but now he's wrapped in a towel in a totally different way :( looking into getting the body casted for the memory and adopting a new "baby" to fill the void :( thank you all for all of your support... happy to hear everyone's success stories... let me know if anyone is in NJ and looking to rehome an arowana... I have a 220gallon tank that's in need of some loving
 
Yeah, right... :( ... I actually bought one to help with the temp yesterday... had a coupon at a local pet store & a pretty strong demand for one ASAP... hoping to put it to better use moving forward
