Is my arowana sick?

[haroldallen]

I have this arowana for 2weeks. He eats well and swim well. But my problem is instead of his fins to be aligned and normal he has some problems on his fins its not aligned and it looks eaten back or like shrinking

here is the picture. Any suggestions ? I started to change water every 2-3 days and add salt+anti chlorine.

they're just fin rots, it will heal and grow back eventually after you do a lot of water change

Yup just continue the wc and salt eventually it will heal and be normal again. Usually fungi and other diseases appear when there's poor water quality.

i read in a previous thread that a chap sudated his aro and trimmed his fins right down because they were uneven. it look ok once it had all grown back

Why would you trim fins if you have fin rot? Thats just asking for infections in open wounds. Do more frequent water changes and flush your system.

those oscars will become a problem for the aro possibly. They m ay already be the culprit to frayed fins

That aro looks too small to be kept with cichlids(oscars) I would recommend not mixing aro with cichlids until the aro is 10-11" long. At that point cichlids thatt are not bigger then 6" can be introduced.

but his appetite went back when i introduce the oscars.
