Bro, with good water management and parameters, nothing is impossible.
Btw, how did it manage to jump? |

sad to say.
i actually bought the red yesterday and place it into the tank. this morning before going to toilet, saw it swimming happily. after toilet came to have a look again but cant seem to find it. look around and saw it behind the cabinet. quick hand quick leg put back into the tank but fish was upright. after some sayang red started breathing but fin was damaged. soooo sad |

you might want to cut off the remaining anal fin. the fin should grow back.
always keep your fish tank covered, especially for young and new arowana which are extremely jumpy. did you overdosed on water conditioner?

Bro, allow the young aro acclimatise itself to the new environment and yourself.
You can decide what to do next when the young fish is less stressful. |
