Hi, this happened during a wc session where my arowana jumped, hit the tip of tank, lost a few rays of anal fin. After a few moment, its start to swim normally and eat, continuously.
I already put some anti-bacterial medicine, wc 20% everyday (its been 3 days).
There are still a few broken rays, still dangling at the base and other ray.
Should i give it an anal fin operation, cut down few rays or just let it be?IMG_20200527_204716.jpgIMG_20200527_204706_BURST001_COVER.jpg
 
It's only been three days. Definitely let it be. It'll heal itself...you can put some epsom salt if you want but not really necessary. My experience with medication is to use loosely. I haven't used medication in over 10 yrs.
Oh alright thank you for the tips :)

It'll be fine I dont see any super bad damage that looks like it'll really impact the fin overall. Just keep up with the maintenance you're already doing and give it lots of love. Glad to see you truly love your fish

This is my second aro, after my silver died due to fungus (my mistake, leaving almond leaves to decompose) and i've been saving money for awhile to have it in my tank so im putting 110% to make sure its live happily
