Arowana will not die when lying on the tank, but whether it will die depends on the reason of lying on the tank.

There are many reasons for Arowana to lie prone. The common one is shock. If it is shock, it will not die normally, and it does not need treatment. As long as it waits for a period of time, they can recover by themselves.

It is also possible that the water quality changes greatly. Arowana is very sensitive to environmental changes. If the water quality changes suddenly or the water quality is too poor, they will feel uncomfortable, and this situation will generally not die.

It may also be due to illness, which may lead to death. Because arowana is fragile after illness, if it is not treated in time, it is likely to die.

If it is caused by shock, the breeder should keep the surrounding environment quiet and keep the breeding environment stable, waiting for Arowana to recover by itself. There is no need to feed or change water during recovery.

If the water quality changes greatly, the breeder needs to adjust the water quality to the original state immediately and keep it stable. During the period, the water cannot be changed to avoid discomfort caused by too much environmental change.

If it is due to illness, the breeder needs to judge according to the different performances of Arowana. Generally speaking, blindfolding, ascites, enteritis, white spot disease, water mold, etc. will all cause the situation of lying on the cylinder, and the breeder should treat it symptomatically.
