Barbel Missing and Front Jaw Swollen
Hi my arowana has not been eating for about 2 weeks.
And I just realised its barbel were missing. The front part of the lower jaw is swollen or looked infected. Any advice? Thanks. |

Did not check the water parameters and my guess is water quality too.
Was away for two weeks and have gotten my family to feed. Maybe fed too much. Did a 40% water change. Anything else I can do? |

Do you normally leave some lights on at night in the tank, and if so did your family turn it off at night while you were away?
I had the same issue with my red. Always left one tube on at night then one day I decided to switch it off. Next day woke up to find both barbels gone and some injury to the lip. So I suspected at night with all the the lights my aro was not used to it and dashed around and rubbed its mouth on the tank walls resulting the injury. My aros mouth and barbels healed up fine after a month or two. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
