Jardini Arowana Fins Damage

[JohnLor715]

Hi I saw this on craigslist http://appleton.craigslist.org/pet/3650550205.html Will this guy fin ever grow back? Might try to get him cheap.

It will grow back, but needs lots of care. Not worth the price though. Rather buy a baby for $60.

I would not pay 140 dollars for that. It will heal... but around here you can get a healthy one for cheaper than that...

At $140 that is for the two little tank and a filter plus the fish. If it does heal like you guys say, I going to see if I can just get the fish for cheap. Thanks

It does look like its starting to show the Batik patterning some Jars show. If you can get the owner way down, I'd go for it. It has the potential to be a stunner with some TLC, but not for that price.

Fin rot, likely from poor water conditions, the aro can recover from it. Though I would also be concerned with the aros overall health, including gil curl and whether or not it has been stunted.

This, whether or not his fins grow back, its worth a shot to see his colors grow out.

His colors look great and if he does get the Batik coloring he will look amazing.

Worse that could happen is you foster him back to health and re-home him for what you paid.

The guy never answered my email. Not surprised!
