It is housed in a 822 tank. temp 25. I immediately added 1% salt which is about 420 grams of salt. I have raised the temp to 30 degrees.
It is still going up, currently 26-27degrees. Arowana is swimming around but opening mouth.
Will the drastic rise in temperate shock it even more?
Please help.
Thanks in advance

alone in the tank? can transfer to a smaller tank for treatment. add ich medicine, salt and set heater to 30. 822 is around 800l. the salt dosage is not correct. warmer water will have lesser oxygen.
