my 14" silver arowana started breathing strangely today. He is opening his mouth for some reason while he is breathing, like he is taking deep gasping. It has been going on for a few hours now. I checked my water perameters and temp and everything seems fine... I've never seen him do this before so I am slightly concern. Nothing drastic has changed recently, so I dont understand what is prevoking this... on a side note, my florida gar does occasionally nip at the arowana, so is stress from that a possibility..? I dont notice any wounds or anything on him. Please, any advice would be appreciated.

yeah his breathing rate has slowed down a bit and hes still eating. your probably right about the jumping. all night I can hear him and my clown knife jumping around. It's terrifying waking up in the middle of the night to the sound of a giant splash and bang. I think I have to sell my gar...
I actually think its your CK.. do you keep your lights turned on or have a small light around the tank at night?
Putblike Led moonlight on it during night time. It helps. Sometimes when they CaNt see, they go crazy jumping around.
