I just bought an arowana from my friend who was definitely neglecting the fish's needs. When I moved the fish to my tank the water he had was unbelievably disgusting.
I moved the fish to my clean tank and I'm getting him used to his new home when I noticed some white around his tail fin and a little on his dorsal fin. After closer inspection there are no white dots on his fins but instead just looks like some white coloration. The fins don't look to be rotting away, atleast not yet.
I know fin rot comes from bad conditions so I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this? PLEASE HELP MY BEAUTIFUL NEW AROWANA.
The specs on my aquarium are all good, 0 ammonia, nitrate levels are all good. since my fish just moved to the tank he hasn't been actively eating yet. (I just got him on 9/22)
