Can a Broken Arowana Fin Recover?
Whether a broken arowana fin recovers depends on severity. If not fully severed, it usually regrows with clean water, steady temperature around 30C, and good nutrition, though slowly and less perfectly. Fully severed fins rarely recover. Keep water quality high and be patient through the long regrowth.
What Fish Can Be Mixed with Arowana?
Arowana is large and fierce, so mixing isn't ideal, but suitable mates include crown cichlid, parrot fish, and tiger fish - mostly mid-to-lower dwellers that don't clash with the upper-swimming arowana. Ensure ample oxygen, space, and food, and keep the tank clean. Avoid small or timid fish that get eaten or stressed.
Why Do Parrot Fish Turn White?
Parrot fish turn white from lack of pigment, poor water (alkaline or hard; they prefer soft, weakly acidic water at pH 6.0-7.0), low temperature below 20C, environment change or fright, illness, or genetics. Feed color-enhancing food, fix water and warmth, let them rest after stress, and treat any disease.
Why Does a Goldfish Get White Fuzz on Its Body?
White fuzz is usually fungus (long fuzz = water mold/saprolegnia) from an untreated wound, or short fuzz from heavy skin parasites. For fungus: change water, raise temp 1-2C, and salt or malachite green baths, even surgical debridement. For parasites: salt or potassium permanganate baths - control dose carefully (15-30 min).
