Rescued silver aro-looks like it's been in a car wreck

[davis101]

One eye is getting fairly clear and the other is still a bit red, but also clearing up. I can see the pupil in behind the red and it seems to be okay, so here's hoping it doesn't lose sight in that eye. I still haven't been able to get it to eat though, but it's still beefy lol

My silver aro used to have drop eye I fed him live crickets for 2 weeks and he went back to normal. I tried the ping pong ball trick and he never noticed it

How bad was the dropeye when you started it on crickets?

I told you it would be okay with the second one.

Do not fret on the eating. she will get there.

You were right. Just a lot of time and clean water is all you need. Any snacks that can crack aros hunger strikes?

Frogs if you can find them! Mine has never refused to eat one.

Might have to make a trip down to the local pond and see if I can find a few.

Don't get her hooked on live.

Throw in some crickets just to kick start.

If you go the frog way, you are done. Only asians can do that because of the aailability...

Nice save!

Good to see its still improving

Well this arowana is just turning into a monster. Its hunger never seems to be satisfied and it has grown substantially. When got it, it was around 27-28" and now its around 31-32" and still growing fast. Its body is about 4-5" thick. Barbells and scales have all returned and the eye that I operated on is still looking great. I will try to grab some update shots soon.
