Expert Answer

When an arowana regurgitates its stomach lining, keep it off food for 7 to 10 days. The problem is usually caused by gastric discomfort or indigestion, so the keeper should stop feeding for a while, run the air pump at full power to keep oxygen levels high and support metabolism, and increase water changes to once every 2 to 3 days.

After these measures, the arowana generally recovers within 7 to 10 days. When it first begins to recover, feed it easily digestible food to avoid irritating its stomach again.
