Ill/Sick Arowana

[Rghfor]

I came in last night to find my new Asian Arowana belly up. He seems to have been attacked. I dived him off and kinda of wedged him in an upright position . He has air being run under had head from an air stone. Is their anything else I can do to assist with possible recovery . Lights are out

The only thing was a slight lack of scales when I opened up try bag on first delivery. Assumed nothing of it . I'll post the body pic
