need help aro is head down tail up.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
thanks for all the help. the aro is doing fine now swimming perfectly and everything.
Good to hear, it's doing fine now. Update us with picture when it's bigger, as it doesn't look like a high shine right now. :) Hope you didn't pay too much.
 
Good to hear. Did you do something or you just left it alone and healed itself?
 
Yeah, what did you do? That info would help out all of us???? I'm not a fan of salt. I usually just turn off the lights, stop feeding, and keep the tank as low stress as possible just like if I was feeling sick.

Good luck that is a nice looking Aro
 
i moved my rtgs yesterday and one of them was swimming like this for an hour, he was real hard to catch and thrashed a lot ,resulting in an injury of some sort, he has always had a little bit of a tilt since the day i got him, and it has never got better, yesterday had me so streessed that if i had any hair to pull out id stilll have no hair, glad to hear your aro pulled through, i hope mine doesn't take a turn for the worse
 
so, turn out the fish was doing some yoga!:ROFL:
good the hear that,keep update!
 
My first silver arowana was about 5"-6", i picked the most active silver among a group of arowana, within 24 hours its head down and tail up, then it died.
I think it was b/c it was chased by convict cichlids and died under stress
or my water current was too strong.
 
x2, Disfunctional swim bladders cannot be fixed.
:footinmou Oops!! :ROFL:
thanks for all the help. the aro is doing fine now swimming perfectly and everything.

What are you feeding your aro, Kev? If you feed freeze dried krills, dry to get it on Hikari food sticks or market shrimps (but make sure you remove the shell and nip off the tail). Arowana at small size tend to have digest problem with krills
