Tail droop?

[fishboykaps]

THe Tail end of my silver arowana suddenly started to droop down! Any Idea's why? i have it in its own tank and added salt

 

[rallysman]

What's the size of the fish/tank, what are your water parameters, and what is the temp?

Sometimes my smaller ones will do that when they get spooked.

yea when my jar gets scared he drops his tail and kinda lowers his head

What is weird is he was acting normal this mouring, i only watched him for 10 mins. He was in a 55gallon grow out tank water was good. He is in a 20 gallon now.

a 20 gal? please tell me he's 3" long... usually they drop tails when there spooked or jus bein lazy for a moment. but can also be a sign of a dying aro.

well he was in the 20 because i wanted to get him out of the 55 grow out. He will be going in a 240 or a 210 gallon soon.
