Alright, maybe bump the temp up to 29-30C and start doing 25% water changes a day and replace salt as needed.
Keep us updated with detailed descriptions of symptoms.
thanks, I'll post some updated pics tonight :)
 
Hi,

Here are some more pictures, I tried to add salt to my tank to increase concentration, but noticed my arowana seems stressed and breathing harder, So i made a 20% water change . I also increased the thermometer setting to 30 Deg.

Any advise?

thanks.
 
I think that's just the fish color...
But judging from the pics they don't look too stressed, the fish is in a different position for 2 of the pictures.
But I guess that's no way to tell.. Can we see a bigger tank shot?
 
thanks. Will try to take a clearer pics later, thir stressbars are showing,
before they got sick. this was their coloration.

I checked and they seem a little better , but I'm still thinking wheter to buy medication for costia, my problem is i don't want to have to recycle my tanks filtration.
 
you can barely tell it's the same fish...
Well, if they aren't already, quarantine them and treat with prazipro. Could possibly have some sort of internal parasite. Doubtful, but something is definitely up with the fish.
 
really need help with this. :( after treatment with Azoo anti ectoparasite for 3 days as intructed in the box, some of my fish are still sick . don't know what to do now :(

any advise?

Its so hard to take pictures.


should i just separate the affected fish?

Yes. Then take shot in the dark and treat with a copper medicine, and Jungles Parasite Clear food.

Recycle??
I've never experienced any recycling issues after using copper medicine.
Try coppersafe or cupramine. I've used cupramine without any cycling issues.
