It takes about 1-3 months for the dragon fish scales to grow out, but how long they can grow out depends on whether the scales are serious. If the scales fall seriously, it will take about 3 months to grow completely. Because the skin will be affected if the scales fall seriously, the recovery speed will be slower. If the scales are not serious, they can grow out in about a month. If it is an arowana in the golden stage of growth and development, the recovery speed may be faster, and it may grow in less than a month.
Arowana is prone to infection when they fall off scales. In the process of their recovery, breeders need to sterilize them regularly to avoid infection.
2. How to prevent Arowana from dropping scales1. There is plenty of space: Arowana dropping scales may be caused by fighting. If breeders want to reduce dropping scales, it is best to replace them with a large fish tank. When they have enough room for activities, they will reduce the number of fights.
2, reduce decorations: Arowana swim faster, and sometimes it will fall off scales when encountering sharp decorations. Breeders had better not place decorations in the fish tank. If you want to decorate the fish tank, you'd better choose some that are not easy to get hurt.
