Is It Normal for an Arowana to Lose Scales?
Some scale loss is normal as arowanas grow, but abnormal, frequent loss signals a problem—injury from handling, crashing into the glass (from overfeeding, fright, or fights), disease (fungal or parasite infection), or poor water. Prevent it with careful handling, a stable environment, separating fighters, and proper water changes.
Why Are My Golden Arowana’s Gills Red?
Red gills in a golden arowana often mean red-spot disease or gill rot, both from poor-water bacterial or parasite infection. Mild red-spot disease improves with water changes and warmer temperature; severe cases need chlorine-dioxide baths. Gill rot is contagious—isolate and treat with salt, copper sulfate, or trichlorfon by stage.

A white film over a parrot fish's eyes is usually cloud-eye disease, caused by poor water quality or injury letting bacteria in, excess nitrogen, or accompanying white-spot disease. Treatment depends on the cause: improve water and raise temperature for mild cases, add antibiotics and salt baths for infection, or treat the underlying white-spot disease.

Good beginner goldfish include comet, ryukin, black moor (dragon-eye), Thai lionhead, Chinese lionhead, and tigerhead — all vigorous and easy to keep, ideal for practice.
