Even in a planted tank, nitrates shouldnt go to zero. Nitrates can be low level. but not 0.
Oh yes they can, there are people that even dose their planted tanks with nitrates among other ferts.

Yes its temporary ; the aro is just 4,5 inch. Got this tank waiting for him.View attachment 936095
Your new tank got too much height...High chances for ur Aro to get a Drop eye or Dropsy tail....arowanas dont need height , they just need more width and length to grow properly :) Keep ur water parameters well and increase the temp to 30-32 degree centigrade and also put some Tetracylin(capsule with yellow powder) and obverse ur fish well..It should be well in no time soon :)
