My fishtail above head..........plz help me....

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
at now, my tank only have 100 l water, temp 32-33 oC, and i use Ciprofloxacin 500 mg for 100l water. I will feeding it by peas. Thk verry much
 
add some aquarium salt, 30degs should be fine and lower the water level. stop feeding once medication is in tank and do slight water changes everyday.
did it jump?
hope it recovers soon!
 
test your water for ammonia while you are at it. this seems to be a common problem and we here need to work out what it is. how long has the filter been running? is the tank a new system, did the fish just get moved to it? your water is a tad too warm for arowana to be happy if anything is wrong with the water quality. if heated, turn it down to 26 c.
 
it does seem to have a lump in its rear end. it does not look to be sick or dying, it is swimming fast and looks interested, no slave breathing..not rolling.. can you see any lump above its anal area?
 
i had the same problem with a green aro of mine. One day i fed it a large frog. After swallowing, the fish become like yours. I thought it would recover, it did not. It continued to develop like that - that is, with bent back ... not pretty.

Some say (i have not tried) the solution is to reduce water level so that it just covers aro and add strong current to force aro to swim in "correct" position. I repeat though - i have not tried it on mine

goodluck
