Hey there arrowans lover.

I was looking through a few tanks of pearl arrowana (snow white color )

and notice that the most good looking one is the one with a swollen lip.

after careful check and asking abou tthe staff in the aquarium it said to be cause he has headbut into glasses a few time and thus the swollen lip.

So well i decided to bring home and try to nurse it back to health and drop it into my main tank along with the copper color pearl arrow which i pick out..

So guys what would be advisible .. currently just bought melafix and drop 2 capful of melafix into the main tank which is about 280 US gallon.

it feeding well and hungry like a monster... wacking my frozen blood worm like no body business...

unlike my old silver arrowana who just keep running away from me -_-".
 
Jardini? Don't even bother with melafix (used mainly for scales and fin healing/growing). TLC and you're done. Usually small tanks= swallon lip of arowanas, when the arowanas rub against the tank.
 
what TLC ? lol... well when he was in the farm most fishes are in small tank XD...
now he got lots of room....

meh i bought melafix expensive dettol LOL
 
oh ahahaha.... lol.. nice term.

ya i think his wound is healiing.. being eating...

the copper is more greedy then him and would swallow the whole cube of blodo worm :S that almost cant fit....
