Pale, Gasping Black Arowana

It's a 300 gal, I believe. My bass has done that gasping thing on occasion with no adverse effects. Same basic situation.

Arowanas, often do open mouth gasping after they eat, just thought of adding this in....not really sure why!!!

But the only thing that comes to mind.

If he is eating, he should be ok???

I'm going to feed again in a while (he ate yesterday) and see if he's still chowing.

What are you feeding the guy?

 

[rallysman]

Tonight it will be krill, but he also eats smelt, fish fillets, shrimp and pellets (if the overflow doesn't eat them first).

Is it crazy like the silver is?

Not even close lol.

How long has it been like it rally? Just 2 days? Maybe it is a jaw problem and he's done something to it by feeding or bumped it somehow. That would make it a bit stressed and a lighter colour. To be honest, it's a pathetic far out guess.

I think I might want to get bit, but definitely feeding with my left hand.

That's possible. He had cloudy eyes for a while, and as soon as all of that cleared up (which it did thank god), this crap started. This damn fish is a hypochondriac.
