Default Dropsy?

Hi, I have a Super Red about 7 inches and the scales aren't like normal, it's a little popped out, very minor. I tried to take a few pictures, but can't seems to see clearly. Hope any masters here could help? He still eats like a glut.

Bro, fundamentally it's the water condition in its tank.

What's your wc regime like?

Every week 20%. pH level is 6.4 so still within normal range. I can't post pictures cos I am new so I need to post 10 posts before I could upload pictures.

Btw, someone who has seen the pictures told me some arowana has 3D scales. They kinda look more popped than the others. I am not sure about this if it's a fact. I mean the scales aren't opened up like the usual popped scales syndrome, but neither its flat and smooth.

Bro, try daily wc for about 20 to 30%, clear and wash filter & its materials, reduce feeding too.


It takes about 2 weeks to recover.
