HELP

[shocker]

I think my arowanas are fighting. The smalest one is missing the tip off its back tail.
I took him out of the tank and into another. Is there something i have to do. He looks healthy. Will this get infected.

I would just watch it for a cpl of days add some salt and do a slight temp increase. More than likely he'll be fine as long as he stays away from the fish that did it. FYI it is commonly accepted info that you need 5-6 aros in a single tank to spread out aggression and hopefully avoid these problems.

How big is the size difference between the aros? They can beat each other pretty bad. It sounds like the little one is OK, he'll heal fine, scales come back. Are they separated or together now?

What kind of aro's?

They are seperated. The fynny thing is that the little one is the one that is eating. But the one whos a little bigger dont touch food at all. It has been three dayes.
It is silver arowanas. I will let them goe in seperat tanks, see whoes the one that is the healty one at the end. And keep the best and sell the other. My little tank is only 200 liters and that is way to small.
Thank you for very good respons.

just keep them separate. i wont advice having 5-6 aros unless you get one of those gigantic tanks

200 liters...that's what 52 almost 53 gallons?
Plan on a future purchase of an 1100+ liter home for your Aro...
