[Jreeper]

hey

i got this guy a week ago he lived normaly for 6 days but today he is staying in the bottom not swimming !!
is it a problem or it is a normal thing ??

water :

ammonia : 0.005
nitrite : 0.001
nitrate : 0.001
pH : 6.9
temp : 26

Definitely NOT normal... is he hiding from an aggressive tank Mate? And what’s that ammonia reading about ...is the tank not cycled? Also 26c is a bit cool for a Silver arrow ... 28 would be better.

Possibly look for tattered fins on the Aro in the pic. How long have the two Arowana been together?

The new Arowana is being harrassed because other Arowana has established territory.
