The white spots on the eyes are still there. I performed another 3gal water change and added 1 1/2 teaspoons of sea salt. Also turned on the heater. I'm praying for the best.

I was finally able to measure the longest Silver Arowana and she was close to 10 inches long. It was really strange because after a couple of attempts at measuring her while she swam, for some unknown reason she stood still long enough for me to measure her.

I could be wrong but it looks like the white spots are going away. It hasn't completely gone away but it sure looks like it's going away.

The white spots definitely look like it's going away. Good news so far. The water though don't seem clear and it still smells a little.

Added a powerhead to my tank setup. Have it installed so that it pumps water up the power filter's lift tube. A sponge can be attached to the powerhead to act as a sponge filter so I installed it. With this setup I can now lower the water level so that there is some room above water when the Silver Arowanas jump. Took out about 1 1/2 to 2 gals of water out of the tank. Also performed a gravel clean at the same time.

For now I have the second power filter running to give time for the sponge on the powerhead to mature. The entire setup is quite exciting, especially since this is my first "mod".

Eventually I plan to put install an extension so that I can put a distance between the inlet(powerhead) and outlet(powerfilter) of my entire filter system.

It's been about one month since I've added entries to this site. Sorry for the absence. I've been quite busy. I'm happy to be updating my page again. How are you folks' Arowana raising adventures?
