The one photo is the arowana at the previous owners tank and other two is after I put him in my tank after the second day adding him in the tank.
The RTG is healthy when I checked him before I bought him he’s about 10-11”. Had him for about 3 days now and has developed some white around the rim of his eyes but it doesn’t look like cloudy eye and I don’t see any milky haze on his eyes. He is swimming all around the tank fine but does not want to eat ever since I put him in. I have him in a 180g with a 70g sump. It’s a brand new tank so I haven’t had any beneficial bacteria built up in the filter. I let it run for a week adding seachem stability everyday with the recommended dose prior before adding the arowana in.
My sump has filter floss and lava rock in the first chamber where the water drops down to, the middle chamber has brand new k1 media that hasn’t been cycled but have been running a pump to get it to sink with a marine block and the last chamber is just my return pump connected with ketapang leaves being pushed back to the tank.
I just did a 30% water change to both the tank and sump and squeezed a sponge filter from my other tank with beneficial bacteria into the filter floss of the sump. I also added epsom salt to the tank as recommended by the previous owner. I have an 8” bubbler running in the tank for aeration. With the temp at 84. Any suggestions on the situation? Thank you!
