Issue with arowana.

[Mfkjr75]

Have you tested your water?

No

If I did not test my water...

1. ...I recognize that I will likely be asked to do a test, and that water tests are critical for solving freshwater health problems.

Do you do water changes?

Yes

If I do not change my water...

1. ...I recognize that I will likely be recommended to do a water change, and water changes are critical for preventing future freshwater health problems.

he currently isn’t eating. He did yesterday have like white something on the tips of his barbells. I put in some pimafix for fungal infections and it cleared up. Still isn’t eating, tried krill, crickets ect and no luck. He swims around but not his normal self and will stop and the back end will sink like you see in the pics. Any ideas? All other fish are fine. Also, as far as the water, I change my water twice a week.

Have you notice any aggressive behavior from the Texas cichlid? Also possible Arowana was spooked and swam into the aquarium glass.

I assume like tlindsey. Maybe got spooked and hit its head. If your water is fine then I’d just wait it out and give it time. Keep an eye and retry feeding with some live small floating crickets.

im fortunate with the carpintis, he is very a very mellow fish. I know my Brichardi did have babies and are a bit aggressive right now. But they stay at the bottom and the arowana stays primarily at the top. Am debating on taking them out. Last thing I want is for the arowana to get hurt.
