NEEED HELP SICK AROWANA

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
You couldn't find aquarium salt?
 
Try the salt and heat thing first, that seems to cure alot of stuff.

I had a half dead fish, jacked up temp, dumped some salt in.
Next morning he was 100% healthy and happy.
 
I only now use melafix, along with pimafix if there are open wounds. If this was my fish I would treat with aquarium salt ( 1 tablespoon per 10g) and do 33% or 50% water changes every day. Keep the temp up at about 85 degrees. If there was no improvement within 5 days then I would consider other treatment.

You also should add an airstone, oxygen content is lower in warmer water.
 
the fish seems to of mad e afull recovery now!! but im going to watch him for another week or two before it goes back in the 55 to grow :)
