Arowana started dashing across tank and started gasping for air at surface level. Lowered water level and added epsom salt dose together with 2 normal sized buckets of fresh anti chlorinated water & another air stone for aeration. now it’s lying upside down motionless, but breathing slowly. It’s nearing 10
years with this RTG aro and never have i experienced this. Any suggestions or advices.

Would lower the water all the way so. Can stay upright and leave alone for now.
