Jardini Behavior

[Frozen_Zero]

can any1 help me with my jar it seems to stay at the bottom of my tank alot is it a problem or it just common???

 

[King-eL]

Yes it's a problem. A healty aro is supposed to swim around the tank almost non-stop.

 

[nelsonx22]

well is there any other fish beside the arowana?

Could be a sickness.... Try checking the water parameters and observe your aro carefully.

 

[WHITECJ2OW]

Does he do this at night (when the lights are off and you can barely see the tank and he cant see you)? He might just be scarred.

If you have been keeping this fish for a while and he all of a sudden started doing this then yea he might be sick.

How long have you had it?
It might be normal if your jardini has always done that.
If it is a change in behaviour then maybe somethings wrong.
I know my Jar is very active.. always swimming near the top.

if the jar is new then it might be normal for it to do that. when i bought my new jar it stayed at the bottom too for a couple of days. when it got adjusted to the tank it starting swimming freely.

How long has the Jar been in the tank??? Mine just chilled on the bottom for a few days until he got used to the tank when i got mine..
