[junior2]

i have a 7 in black arowana. the problem is it looks like his slime coat is drying out . he has been slowing down to the point that it says still in the tank during the day?? does anyone know way this is and if theres a treatment for it ??

Tank size, tankmates, water conditions(ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, pH)??

every thing is fine in nitrates , ph , its in a 20 g with a datnoid , sun cat, and a ornate bichir . the cat also got sick and hardly moves. i know they have eaten fish but I'm don't know way to do

you have two small of a tank a 20 gal come on that's way to small. idk what kind of sickness they have but it sounds like they are stressed. i would try and put melofix in the tank or some kind of slime coat also clean filters and tank. if possible i would move them to a diff tank

What about the ammonia and nitrites?? It sounds like you have way too many large fish in a 20G.
