Hi everyone, i had a question. I bought an arapaima 1 month back at 5 inch he is now 10inchs eats perfectly. He is in a 120gal growout tank all by himself. 50% water changes done alternate day. I have noticed that the arapaima yawns alot. Is it a problem or do arapaimas yawn alot? There is alot of aeration. Only thing is i have covered the tank with a glass so that he doesnt jump out. There are very very little gaps. Is this the problem?
 
Some fish do yawn occasionally, we often just don't see it. I wouldn't worry too much if nothing seems off
 
what do you plan on keeping it in longterm? as it grows heavier you need to be mindful of it knocking off whatever lid you place on the tank
