You can try to deworm but not necessarily will work.
The longest fasting was more than a year with ample food (pork, sotong, prawns) given but refused to eat. Eventually died. I believe there's some underlying conditions which I didn't manage to detect or solve. But most of my fasting arowanas will start eating within two months without doing anything.... The fasting was due to change of food or bored of eating the same food. |

At times, aros can be stressed out missing its regular companions in the tank.
Maintain good water parameters, the red will come around in no time. Honest, my 6-yr-old red ever went off food for more than a month. Suddenly one day, it feeds again ![]() |

Anytime you made changes they will need some time to get used to it unless they are very comfortable with the new environment.
