Hi everyone! I noticed a very big hole on one of the scale of my Arowana. It is located near the tail on the lateral line. Is there any way to get rid of this? Or would this go away by itself? Help would really be appreciated.

Past some pics of the whole you’re talking about. Most likely it’s some kind of parasite eating away and will spread. Something is up with your water quality. When was your last wc and how often?

You could pull the scale and it will grow back if it was from it damaging it self but I'd rule out the posts above first. (Water quality and parasites

Thank you I will be checking on it. Water change 30% once a week. Last was 2 days ago.
