Aro Not Eating And Swimming Vertically

Hi all,

I need some advise here from you guys.

My Arowana has not eaten for nearly 1.5 months and have recently (about 2 days back) developed a weird swimming behaviour - looking as if it lost its balance and swimming vertically. Please advise how do i get it back to shape again.

Will putting Epsom salt do the trick?

Hi pals, my aro has been swimming upside down for 2 days already. It hasn't eaten for a month. Do i need to bag my aro, put in small amount of water (to the height of the aro) and put salt? I already added Epsom salt , do i need to add aquarium salt? Dr Federick Chua prescribed some antibiotics (i added to water) and now I just put in some charcoal (*contain in bags).

Pls help if you have suggestions.

Looks my aro wants to swim upright but it keeps floating belly up.

Sounds very serious, suggest you follow Dr frederick's advice. Remove the charcoal as it will absorb the antibiotics added. Hope your aro recovers soon.

wow, that doesn't sound good. how did all this start in the first place? PM me if you need my humble advise.

Okay, i've taken out the charcoal, hope it is not too late. I thought it'll remove all the amonia etc. By the way, i realize my aro's back fin seem to be slightly broken (not sure why) and some discolouration.

The aro is still swimming upside down, must it put it into a bag and force it upright?

Pls see attached for my fish.
