PLEASE HELP!!! MY AROWANA MAY BE DYING!!!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
as a newbie myself, aros can quickly get too much to handle...

I made my teeth on kois, gouramis and angels before being gifted an aro but besides basic tank maintenance there is nothing in common. A lot of times i'd just run here and there asking stupid questions just to be sure it's not a symptom of some disease....

The hardest thing as a beginner aro keeper imo? just accepting those darn things have an atitude, will injure itself and most of the time will heal right up by itself. a lot of time i had to say to myself "he's alright leave him alone"
 
You need to do some research on the bacteria that lives in your tank and where it lives, but your not alone even other members are suggesting that there is beneficial bacteria in tank water. You may want to check your perimeters again its possible to crash a tank this way as well.
