The king of DIY any updates for today? It's kinda wierd but the fish has been on my mind all day
Rip
kim Williams mine too
It's devastating to see him in that condition, I can't imagine how you must feel. I'm so sorry Joey.
Hi
I think is stung by any of the rays..
10/10 grammar
Solid Gold Aquatics
Oh my god watch your channel,
I did not expect you to watch the king of DIY
You can't watch her that often. They did a collaboration not long ago
My heart is absolutely breaking for you. I have been there, and it is a horrible feeling. All my mojo for his recovery.
Rachel O'leary thank you
Hold in there. Arawana
Rachel O'leary Thanks for the support
Nearly in tears over this
matharris100 And he's not even my fish
You can really see the pain he is in just talking about it. Never almost cried over a fish before.
Natalie Knapp same
you must of never been steelhead fishing before then LOL
You have a beautiful relationship with your Arowana, let's hope he gets better.
That makes me feel better thats very nice
She is dead
Rip
Wrong
Weirdo
@ joey . My silver arrowana did EXACT ! Same thing with same symptoms, I dropped water level by half and within 4 days he was upright ! Hang in there buddy and fingers crossed 🇬🇧
gareth Williams everyone pin this comment so Joey can see it!
gareth Williams hmmmmmm
gareth Williams look at Gareth Williams joey
Like so joey can see so he gets better faster!!!!!
Everyone needs to like this comment so that Joey sees this :)
This by far is the hardest part of keeping animals. Anyone who has done it long enough has had stuff like this happen. We become so attached to our buddies and it's so tough seeing them suffer or dealing with a loss. I give you props for even sharing this, I don't think most could. Hope he pulls through bro.
I admire your care and reaction to this incident. You didn't over react like a lot of pet owners and you understand the steps for his recovery and know the other unfortunate end of the spectrum
I've seen someone make a floatation device for a sick fish. Sounds crazy but it kept the fish upright until it healed.
Keep an eye on his belly and make sure it's not bloated. He might need it drained if he stays belly up. A bunch of Asian care videos shows this as being a problem in Arowana species.
This happened to my Florida gar once where he was swimming spastically and turned upside down. It was also his swim bladder which I held him with two pieces of Walmart pool noodles I cut to size. I put both pieces on the sides and some rubber bands around him and the foam to make sure he swam upright which he finally recovered after about a day. You should try this and I would at least keep him upright to allow his swim bladder to properly adjust.
Letting him toss and turn will cause more issues. And if you do find my post you may also want the current lower so he doesn't get tossed around. Hope it all works for you
kelmm568 but then he will float to the top won't he? And he's probably kinda weak right now
JustMeSara no he won't just float to the top. Have you seen the wheelchair goldfish?
pool noodles...worth a try, why the hell not!
......pour some booze in the tank to help ease the pain...and not the cheap stuff
I hope Joey reads this. Putting him in the right position will definitely lower his stress (and risks of being stung) which helps any healing process. It's a surface fish, he won't mind and will be able to rest. The way he is, he is not resting, sleeping or anything, he is tired of trying to get to the right position and spending all his energy. As joey stated, he clearly relaxes when Joey holds him.
First time I’ve seen a really good, caring fish keeper in awhile, keep it up!
I've never cared this much before about a fish
@@CreatorsHubCreates lmao your wrong its 131 likes and 2 comments
Hey Joey
1. Your doing the right thing. There are times when you have to act fast in the hobby, and there are times when you have to keep calm... This is a time to keep calm!
2. Keep watching him closely, like you said if the time comes you will take action.
3. Sounds like a good idea to move him to a hospital tank if he dosn't improve.
4. How do these fish respond to heat treatment? I don't know if you've tried it, but I've cured alot of fish by raising the temperatures, lots of water changes and lots of air. It's a well known treatment for discus and other chiclids.
5. Sometimes it sounds like you feel you have to justify your actions to us... you defenatly don't man. No one can say you're not doing the very best for your fish... I don't know, probably not necessary to say this, but I did:-)
Good luck!
Brian Larsen Toft very well said sir
Brian Larsen Toft Very well said. Joey is the professional here. As many of us has experience fish keeping and will have our own opinions on the matter. We have no right as viewers to tell him how to do things just give our opinions. And Joey shouldnt have to feel the need to justify his actions
Did you consider one of the spines on the ray got him under a scale? A puncture to the side, near the swim bladder, could have startled him causing him to jump leaving him with doubled trauma. Have you checked to see if any of the spines on the rays are missing their sheath?
Ross joey mentioned he checked the rays for stress because of his suspicions that it was water issues. If there were missing spines Joey would notice the stress on one of them and notice the missing spine.
Matthew, from what I could tell he was looking for stress signs such as curling. I doubt a spine was lost, I was more so commenting on the thin membrane that covers the spines being pulled back which is sometimes something that is overlooked.
Who's back here to watch this after his other Arowana just died? Gosh this was the first biggest heartbreak and now we're experiencing this all over 😢😢
Watching you so broken and seeing him in pain, made me teary, this is only the third video I have watched on your channel, and you have so much passion! I really hope he pulls through! Or has! Not sure on how old this video is. ❤
"But that's my guy" 😭😭 joey you're killin me
The sky is falling because tomatoes are really annoying. - Isn't that good?
Gymnastmonkey9696 Get over yourself
chipster86 I meant it in a way of it's so sweet how much he loves his fish that my heart couldn't handle it! Never meant to be rude :)
It hurts me.This arowana means so much to Joey.Its his favorite fish in his whole collection!!!!The pain the arowana is going through is sad.Hang in there ! Best wishes to you and the arowana
Nathaniel Hernandez fish dont feel pain
They may not feel it but he must be miserable.He can’t even swim right.He is upside down on the floor.Does that make him comfortable? P
Johnny Salami all living things feel pain
Laura Fort false some do not have sophisticated brains
Nathaniel Hernandez my arowana jumped out of the tank... but he was no where near as big as his
No matter how many times I watch this I always start to cry when Joey said he’s asking for help ☹️
god, I've never seen anyone other than Taylor Nicole Dean be so passionate about fish before and I don't know why but your emotions hit me way harder than they should've.
Soup Medic ayyy another Taylor Nicole Dean fan 👋🏼😜
This didn't age well
Nathaniel Ganesh YIKES
Y I K E S
Nathaniel Ganesh and i, oop-
Joey when I used to work in a public aquarium, I had a similar problem with a large fish, I made a floating device to put around his body, it was way faster to recover, cause he could maintain his balance and eat properly.

The king of DIY what if he got stung by a ray and way to get in the shot frank
The king of DIY I'm so sorry that this happened Joey. It completely broke my heart and I cried watching the video. I hope everything will get better 😢
Whats done is done, no point thinking about it, I have this hobby for about 15 years now, heck still I make rookie mistakes sometimes :)
Hope you are right and the arowana will turn out ok
Could he have gotten stung by the rays?
When you reached your hand towards him and he swam to you I started crying like a baby. He clearly knows you’re there to help. Poor baby. 💔
Watching him flop around on the last night footage and just float into the sting Ray's had me almost in tears omg.
This is truly devastating... i feel like the arrowana is a little child... i really hope he gets out of this okay
Yes, I agree. The poor fish is such a mascot... get well soon
Joey I had this with my silver arowana he jumped and got trapped between my lid and the glass injuring his swim bladder in the process I researched online and found massaging the belly of the fish helps to push out trapped fluids/ air and apply pressure to the swim bladder my fish slowly recovered and has now been given to a family member once I got him back to 100% give it a go !
Hopefully Joey sees this
Dan G people please like this so joey could see.
joey never see coments
Dan G my jardinian arrowanna did similar wasn't as severe an injury in his 75 but still had to remove a piece of mopani for between his scales. Try telling an arrowanna that's highly agitated that your trying to help it. At least once they know your helping like Joey's Asian arrowanna knows Joey's doing they somewhat calm down.
guppyfanatic he does from time to time look through the comments theirs the diy symbol with a heart next to some comments which means he liked those comments.
This was the first video I ever saw on your channel. It’s crazy what you have over come. I love what you do
As a fellow hobbyist, I was truly heartbroken when I watched this. I had a similar accident with my beloved angel fish. She kept running into everything and couldn't stabilize. Unfortunately she didn't make it :( Best of luck to you and praying for your asian arowana!
Let's be honest he is the main reason Joey has this 2000g
Coolrh13 no, he built it for the rays since they grow up to big lengths
Dog_Luvr Are you just trying to be edgy or are you seriously angry about a statement that was harmless and helpful?
... what did he do?
Dog_Luvr grow up.and get a life.
Dog_Luvr wow. Way to be a complete turd for no reason. Not to mention in a place we all enjoy and learn from. Hope you feel better bringing down the vibe on a video that is a downer already. Have a nice day.
Best wishes, Frank looks like he is concerned for his friend, as all the rest of us are.
OfShadowsHidden Frank's concern made my day. "Oh dear goodness friend you is sick! I wishes you well friend! Joey take good care of us and he luv us it be okay!" 😂🙂
Edit: also as said, well wishes from your fans!

OfShadowsHidden Frank is More sicial than many humans...
That's so neat. The fish recognize you and allows you to touch him. Thats so cute.
This is so heartbreaking.
It's truly disturbing to see the amount of ignorance and lack of sympathy in the top of the comments section. His favourite pet is dying, show some humanity.
I'm guessing it comes from outsiders who aren't regulars to Joey's channel. For those who do support him, ensure you like the constructive and sympathetic comments and reply them. The youtube algorithm favours comments with replies. (Which is why controversial comments get to the top).
A simple "+" reply can send the positive comments all the way to the top for Joey to see. He's given us high quality free content for years. The least we can do is show some love and respect.
Edit: If anyone disagrees with me, as there have already been many, feel free to leave your opinion. I recommend that you put some thought into it to avoid possible embarrassment.
Jeff Bronson only saw one mest up comment threw out the comment section you're just seeking attention....
Christopher Alcantar good for you man. I saw like 4 in the top 20 comments. Stuff like "youre a dumbass bring him to the vet", "$5000 sushi" "Franks' revenge." But I really hope youre right dude. I think Joey deserves the support.
Christopher Alcantar and people in general giving terrible advice
Jeff Bronson i only saw the "you're the dumbass " one just leave them alone and theyll go away
Christopher Alcantar maybe youre right. But I'm still going to try and help.
Hey joey we as a community are truly devastated about the fish and what you are going through we all know how it feels, we are all here for you joey, prays goes out to you and your fish
"That's my guy right there"
I am so heartbroken for you Joey... I'm so sorry
Destiny Warren damn you cute
@@stillatin bro stuff stfu
my heart goes out to u Joey! I know how much u love all ur fish especially ur arowana! so sorry brother! ❤ praying for a speedy recovery
Joey this makes me want to cry :( I feel you I recently lost my favorite gourami to swim bladder disease. I really hope he gets better I'm so sorry for you. Stay strong man

Jeffrey Arigoni I'm sorry man😯😬.I love your fish and rays
Jeffrey Arigoni I too, lost my fish to swim blater disease, but my parents didn't let me do ANYTHING to help. I was forced to watch my friend die. Worst of all, they didn't really understand what it was, and while I was at school, my dad flushed him because he wasn't moving. He may have still been alive. RIP Phillip Bon Fishy, RIP. I will remember you.
I know how helpless & heartbroken you feel, Joey. My goldfish of 3 years just passed away from dropsy. I did everything I could. I hope with all my heart that your arowama will get better ❤
You two had such a good relationship that he came to you when you came near the tank for help. Poor buddy...
It’s very evident how much you care about your fishy & how much he loves you, I love to see that, I’m sorry for your loss 💔
This is heart breaking, Cant you find Specialist vet. We have them here in the UK who specialise in large fish like carp and arowana
All the best x
Victorbrine felix actually joey live in Canda; Nova Scotia i think lol
Victorbrine felix pet stores and vets are different. The US has plenty of fantastic veterinarians.
Eeehhh, vet stores aren't the same thing as vets. Veterinarians are people who specialize in treating animals and animal surgery. People have to go to (I believe) a 4 year veterinary school, similar to how people have to go to med school to become a doctor. Anyways, I'm sure you get my point, vets know what they are doing, and if an animal is seriously injured it is always better to bring them to a respected vet.
Specialist vets are 1) highly expensive 2) pretty rare to come across, especially for aquatics so transport of the fish or getting the vet to him in Canada would be outrageously expensive time consuming and stressful 3) wouldn't be able to do much more in terms of treatment than Joey is currently, sadly, he knows what he's doing pretty well. A vet may be able tell him exactly what he already suspects, but it'd put so much stress on the sick fish he would likely die.
He'll be okay Joey. If there's anyone's care he should be under in a time like this it's yours! You're the king for a reason!

Seeing him float upside down like that his just heart-wrenching. I'm sorry for your loss, thank you for your compassion towards your animals.
I had a VERY large green Arrowana that hit itself on the glass and broke its back. It floated upside down within a few minutes and died in an hour.
Had him for ten years.
I think no matter how big the tank is, its not big enough.
Lesson here is... no more Arrowanas for me.
arowanas do not belong in the hobby.
@@squorm6043 Agreed. Would NOT recommend keeping these fish.
I THINK ,.. JUST THEY GROW BIG ENOUGH NOT TO SIT IN-SIDE THE TANK ,. U JUST SET HIM A BIGGER ONE OR GIVE HIM TO THE LOCALITY AQUA ,.. JUST THE SAME
Sorry to see that happen to such a beautiful animal and a close friend to you.

Omg this makes me so sad 😭. I’m so sorry this happened to your fish. I know this was 3 years ago but your loving attention toward him, was really sweet.
There are no words that can be spoken to express feelings you have given you TH-camrs. I admire you more than anybody on the web.
Looking at how much joey cares about is beautiful,you can see the hurt in his voice.I hope everything will be fine ❤️
Joey.. I am truly saddened at what has happened. Lets hope Frank can give him a helping Fin and bring the big guy back to how we know him. My thoughts are with you buddy. 🙏
Matt Brown that's a high five not praying hands.
Thomas Hundley No, it is praying hands on my device, bud. Some phones are different, just like emojis are different from Apple to Andriod devices and from update to update.
Matt Brown I couldn't have said it better myself 🖒
This breaks my heart. You can see how much he trusts you by letting you hold him. Poor baby. I'm so sorry for your loss. 💔
Sorry for your loss dude. As fish keepers we get arranged to to these amazing creatures. I lost a large chocolate cichlids last week, and three weeks ago my peacock cichlids developed swim bladder problems, after putting him in a 18 litre tank, I added aquarium salts and some swim bladder treatment which the peacock recovered , however he now swims near the surface and now and then he will dive down and return the the surface, but as least he is swimming upright. In the tank. Once a gain, so sorry for your loss dude. Take care.
That's really hard to watch. Definitely suggest moving him into a tank with lower water levels. That way he can't hurt himself anymore.
j03yYunG Aquariums but that might stress him out
Hi Joey, I recall there was a channel that posted a "Goldfish Wheelchair" for a damaged swim bladder. It may help your Asian.
Glassic Gamer therr arr 3 or 4 versions that i have seen
He could use the arm floaters for little kids so replicate the floating cap
I am so sorry about your fish but...HOW DID I GET HERE? 😂
EJ Electric lol
EJ Electric IT IS A SIGN!!! 😱
EJ Electric same
I was watching vids and randomly found one of his vids XD
Same
This is my first video I've watched on ur channel and al ready I'm sort of heartbroken for ur fish...I'm sorry ur fish is sick, and he/she is really pretty to!Hope u get better!!
Hope the Arowana recovers. All the best joey

Get well soon. He's my favourite of all you fish and to me he's like the mascot of the king of Diy and definitely the king of the aquarium
Aw poor guy and good for you for caring so much man, honest all that stuff about "Screaming for your help" is what our minds tend to think. It's natural for empathizing, caring people to blame themselves, you're a good guy nice effort no matter the result.
Im in tears of here Joey, hopefully he will pull through and his swim bladder will regulate itself. Best wishes!!!
Get well soon Asian arowana! 💙
Get well soon!!!
The king of DIY Oh my gosh Joey I am so sorry I feel for you and ur asian arowana, it truly is a nightmare come true I hope he heals over time and you can't even tell it happened :)
It's hard to see your little friends suffering. I am so sorry. HUGS!
So now that im looking back at these videos i can maybe help diagnose what happened. So he might have jumped because of a parisite that can cause neurological damage and it affects the fish with in hours, its called whirling disease. Ive only had 1 fish with this but looking back i can say he was showing the same symptoms as my puffer fish. Im so sorry joey.
We have this disease in trout in Wyoming.
Perdi pirararas duas vezes com os mesmos sintomas. Mas elas já estavam adaptadas ao aquário quando ficaram doentes. Ninguém soube me explicar o que poderia ser.
😓
I've seen people do float supports by tying yarn around the fish and then to something buoyant enough to support the fishs' weight.
EDIT: Maybe something like balloons or water bottles
DaDonBossMan my thoughts exactly it worked for my irridescent shark.
rather get a stretcher like pouch and bottles filled with little air with only fins and tail and head exposed. like to get this comment up there.
DaDonBossMan love the profile pic
if his back is broken he wont be able to move the lower/back part of his body .. he is swimming ok and moving ok . he will be fine .. i suggest moving him to a smaller tank with less water to help him up a bit .. good luck joey
You can cut a fish's head clean off.... and it can still move its tail. Fish dont have the same nervous system as humans.
Ramii Deebo thank god!
Muhammad Ahmed That reply was neither angry or rude.
Lol Muhammad is just super sensitive lmao
Ramii Deebo good point it makes a lot of sense,
it is very painful to watch him, my heart goes out to him
One of my silvers jumped out of the tank and split her side open. Even split some scales. She was over 3ft long. It took almost 3 months for her to heal. Had to hand feed her until she got strength back. It's very lucky arowanas are hand Friendly and smart enough to know you are trying to help them. She healed and lived on for many years. Good luck brother fish lover. I don't care how many fish you have it always hurts when you lose one. Especially the arowanas. There are there any fish that enjoy you petting them
Can you get a vet to look at him? portable X-Ray? I think I can say for most of us that if $$$ is the issue the community can help out.
Sudz He said a few comments ago that there is no aquatic vet near him. The vet actually calls him with fish related problems...
Its so painful to watch Joey like this. The open Mouth thing could also be him trying to control his swim bladder. There's still hope. It doesn't look good, but there's hope.
Sudz yeah how about no
"most" of us. Apparently not you.
I'm so sorry Joey. We can get through this together. As a community, we will pay for anything that will help him. Please keep him safe. My prayers are with you. Thank you for sharing this.
This is so hard I cant even imagine what you are feeling. I will be praying, he is in good care with you.
Joe cut off about 10 inches off the bottom of the wood scape (the tall side). Place a few needle leaf java fern on the top to make up for the height. In the end it would look a lot better and safer for when the blood red goes in.
Or you can even cut it further off the bottom so the wood doesn't go past two thirds of the tank. Then when the plants grow in it will look even sicker. Could always do one of those rock backgrounds for this tank too.
Pouring one out for buddy tonight, he was a beast.
That's so sad I hope the poor thing lives... Maybe add some soft plants at the surface to slow down a jump that could result in a freak accident like this.
Can you make him a crutch similar to the crutches made for goldfish with swimbladder issues, just larger?
I lost a big clown loach in similar fashion. He got spooked by a much bigger pleco, jumped out of the water and hit his head on the lid. He was also swimming upside down for a few hours before passing away. I saw your other video where you decreased pressure on his swim bladder with a syringe and was wondering if you could do a video demonstrating this technique... if and when you are up to it.
I felt so helpless as I saw the loach struggling to swim upside down in loops and wonder if the technique you showed would have helped. The emotion in your face and voice is clear to see and its also painful to see such an elegant fish in this situation.
My deepest sympathies for the airawanna 😢 Its nice none of the other fish are messing with him. I hope he recovers!💓
Joey if any flukes were on those plants when introduced, being the silver finned fish the flukes would attack him first... Maybe hes reacted to the flukes and tried to scrape and jumped... Just a possibility. I really hope the gorgeous fish gets better... Hope your ok too buddy.
Jonathan Sims sounds likely
If hes scraping etc may have caused all damage to fins also being a big strong fish
Jonathan Sims What are flukes? I'm sorry I'm really upset about this but I don't know what a fluke is.
Flukes are a small hook worm external parasite. The either hide from light behind the gills of a fish destroying the gills by feeding on them, or can hook onto the body. They breed very quickly in warm water. They cause fish to flick and scrape of decorations through irratation which can cause damage to fins and gills.
Olivia Ryals reason i said flukes as in video fish seemed to be flashing also
It may sound crazy but the filtration might be the problem,if it causes too much force the arowana cannot swim.
Me: just take him to the vet🤷🏻♀️ Also me: wait, nvm🤦🏻♀️
Sorry about your fish bro. I hope he gets better
It looks like possible brain damage/concussion, because he seems a little disoriented and erratic at first. Possible internal bleeding and/or organ damage. Maybe not the swim bladder, could be something else internal. I don't think he's broken his back, because if that was the case he wouldn't be able to swim, let alone that fast. I really hope he'll be okay. Poor baby.
Bassblue _ So do I.
Hecci666 that's exactly what I was thinking. I have a koi that loves to jump and the same thing happened with her. Same behavior as the arowana, I seriously doubt the broken back as well because he wouldn't be swimming at all and would most likely have passed already. My guess is a concussion. Disorientation would have him running into the sides of the tank and eventually lose balance. A few days or weeks and he should be okay in my opinion
Taylor Evans Yep. The flailing and panicked, disoriented swimming says brain trauma/concussion to me.
Left Right It's a serious thing, not a joking matter, I'm trying to ignore those idiots trying to garner attention through Joey's and his pet's pain.
Bruised internal organs could possibly be leading to the arched posture as well, because the animal is in pain. At this point I'm definitely thinking brain trauma is the main culprit though. Notice how he goes still and calm when held? That's likely because he's able to be still and can see, because brain trauma would be giving him blurred vision, making him panic further.
My thoughts with you and the fish, i know how much he means to you and all the time youve put into caring for him
I hope he heals, it's heartbreaking to see him suffer. I'll keep my fingers crossed .
Why am I crying?? I started bawling when you were talking about him swimming to your hand asking for help
Even Frank looks sad 😭😭😭😭😭
Phil Shifley He's staring at his buddy! 😭
Him freaking out is a scary thing to see
HI Joey, I have watched your channel for a long time but never commented, but this is such a gut wrenching video i really wanted to send my support and hope it turns out well for your fish. Its a terrible thing and my heart go's out to you.. All the best
lol, far from it. The more you understand in life, the more you feel its up's and downs. My life's been far from sheltered, but since you presume that it is from a comment i've made on you tube, It says a lot more about your's.
I've never cried for a fish before. That was so sad. Seeing his grave and your remorse made me cry too.
Is it possible he may have gotten a bit too curious with the rays?
I am sooooo sorry Joey, I hope he gets better really really soon. Im sad now :(
dwayne the ROCK johnson nigga no :(
this is very unfortunate, being a fellow Arowana owner I know how devastating this must be considering how majestic these creatures are and how tough we work to provide them the best conditions possible in an aquarium setting. Best Wishes.
As my experience, please check the pH in the water that is believed a main problem for any arowana. The ideal pH for them is a round 5.5-7. Especially, when we relocate them in a new tanks we should keep the old water for them to make the new home familiar as the old place.
Luckily, he is under nobody elses care than yours. You're a true expert Joey, he will be alright. And I believe I speak for everybody when I say "My Condolences". Good luck Joey!
Colonel Sanders true we need more nice comments like this.
Colonel Sanders this is a nice comment, this is whats needed.
Colonel Sanders :)

experienced yes... expert? doubt so
I agree with all of you gut instincts, keep him in there. (At least for now)
Someone said to tube or hand feed him. I think that's a good idea if he doesn't eat on his own soon.
But I am confident that with his improvement in the last 24 hours you will keep him! He's a hardy fish!
**Fingers Crossed**
Thank you for everything you do for the community! Including this video!

Hey you inspired so many with all kinds of ugly comments I hope I can shed some goodwill by keeping you and your fam in my prayers. I know how your fish mean to you, and I feel your heart break in this video. Keep your head up and your drive strong.
That is crazy sad. We haven't even found out his name yet. Hope he gets better.

Dude it’s not cruel you care so much I personally support all of these decisions and understand it’s a hard thing to have happen
