I have a 24" Silver Arowana that I recently moved into a pond outside because he had out grown his tank. The conditions were ideal and everything was set up fine. All of a sudden the weather changed and the water temp dropped to about 18 Deg. The fish didn't eat but seemed to soldier on. Three weeks later and he'd not eaten, i decided enough is enough and moved him back into the house figuring a warm tank that's a bit small is better than a large pond that is too cold. Wrong, i didn;t think to take the water from the pond to fill the tank and then slowly heat it. I put the arow into water which must have been 27 degrees. A stupid stupid mistake that him done irreparable damage to the fish especially considering he's not eaten since December. He can;t swim, his eyes are sinking into his head, his top has turned very dark and he just hangs in the water with his head drooping. When he does swim it all over the places, upside down on his side and he crashes into the bottom and sides. I'm trying every way i can to rescue him but i doubt very much anything will help him. It's heart breaking to watch such a beautiful fish go like this and know that it's my lack of thought that has caused it.
If anyone has a miracle cure I'd be so grateful to hear from you.
