Well, after a lot of research, along with a thread or two in the forums, I finally decided to buy an Arowana. He's currently in my 125 sans the Albino Oscar; had to move him to a 56 gallon temp. as he and the Arow wern't getting along.
My question here is, what is the black spot that he has on his body? It looks like about 3 of his scales turned dark; and after searching through google, I didn't see anything that looked like it. He only has the spot on one side.
Has anyone seen this before? Has anyone here had a silver that did something similar? Is it something I should worry about? How should I treat it if necessary?
His diet consists of twice a day feedings of Hikari floating food sticks (about 5 or 6) as well as a piece or two of Hikari freeze dried Krill, with crickets once a week. He steals a flake or two as well as a food pelet every once in a while as well.
Tank temp. is 79.7
Parameters are good 10-20 nitrate like normal, everything else is at 0, water is a little hard.
To answer the tank question that I'm sure many of you are wondering about... he's not staying in the 125 after he reaches 15 inches (only about 9 now). There will be a 300gal 96"x30"x24" very soon.
