Give it some time.On aquarium lights for a long period and try to spend some time with the tank.Get a huge variety of food for ur aro such as aro pellets or market prawn.Check water Ph regularly and maintain good water standards.If all in check your aro would be fine 👍🏻

Juv Aro should not be starved for a long time as it will stunned the growth, try fish feeders, small frogs and other live food.

or you may lower the water level temporary, put in some live feeders

Some pts for consideration....

1. Turn on the light 24/7 for first few days
2. Partition your tank and slowly adjust the space to help the small fella adapt.
3. Get the aro some lively tankmates.
4. Check with the farm on the food that the aro is previously on.
5. If needed, cover the side glass with cloth to minimise movement/action.

nope, adding another arowana may lead to aggression, and more stress to your current arowana. if u want add another timid tankmate like a tinfoil barb or a bala shark.

Perhaps, you might want to post a video of your xb. how big is your tank.
