Symptoms and Causes of Arowana Gill Eversion
Arowana gill eversion (flip-gill) starts with abnormal gill movement and breathing, then rapid breathing, surfacing, and starvation, and finally fully everted gills that suffocate the fish. Causes: foul water (low oxygen), temperature swings, cramped space, a misplaced wave pump, or bacterial/parasite infection. Treat early with better water and oxygen; hardened tissue needs surgery.
Decoding the Causes of Arowana Gill Eversion
Severe gill eversion can kill an arowana, but it develops gradually—treat it early and you avoid the worst. Causes are poor feeding/husbandry, cramped space, unstable temperature, and a misused water pump. Treat early with water changes and aeration; mid-stage add current therapy (about 50% success); late stage needs surgery.
Why Do Arowanas Get Gill Eversion and How to Treat It?
Gill eversion is common and hard to control because many causes overlap: foul water, overcrowding, temperature swings, and a misplaced water pump. Early: improve water and add oxygen. Mid: add current therapy (about 50% success). Late (hardened tissue): only surgery. Mild cases refuse food or surface; severe ones suffocate from infection.
