It takes 1-3 months for Arowana to grow after its tail is broken, but how long it can grow depends on their tail. If the situation of Arowana's broken tail is not serious, it usually only takes about one month to grow. If it is an arowana in its infancy, it will grow faster, and it will grow new ones in about 20 days.
However, if their tails are broken seriously, and even some tails will be broken directly, it will take them about 3 months to grow new ones. If it is an older arowana, it may take 5-6 months to grow new ones.
2. What to do after Arowana's tail is broken1. Isolation: After Arowana's tail is broken, breeders need to isolate them first, so as to avoid their re-injury. Moreover, it is not easy to infect bacteria when raised alone, which can speed up their recovery.
2. Heat up: Breeders should also raise the water temperature in which they live to between 30-32 ℃, which can improve their metabolism and speed up their recovery.
3. Add salt: After the arowana is replaced by a new container, the breeder needs to add some crude salt to the water, which can avoid the wound infection and inhibit the growth of bacteria.
4. Apply anti-inflammatory drugs: If the tail of arowana is seriously broken, the breeder also needs to apply erythromycin ointment or potassium permanganate to the place where their tail is broken to avoid inflammation or decay of the wound.
