Exclamation Arowana not swimming

Hi Seniors,

I have just bought an arowana yesterday, and it is not swimming.
It has been staying at the bottom witth his tail curled.

Is it sick or are there any soloutionto make it active?


Thanks and best regards,

I think it is just scared in a new environment. Turn on your lights 24/7 and don't do too much movement near the tank. Let it settle down

Short video or photo would be good for others to have better understanding.

And it has some rotten fish.

OTF told me the fins will grow back is that true?

Or do I need to put medication?
