Alright, as promised I've tested the tank water & here are the results..
One pic is ammonia result & the other two are nitrite results..
The test is done right before water change..

I've decided to name it Poseidon since his head has a "trident" marking..

Thanks.. I think if you follow Pharaoh's advice on relocating aro, it should work out fine..

**Disclaimer.... I am by no means an arowana expert. I've just owned a few.

I was told by some fellow hobbyists that you have to really want to keep aros in water the entire time they are being relocated. This includes moving them from the tank to the transport contain and back. It may not be the actual swim bladder, but my guess is that it is related to air intake by the fish and the inability to dispel that air once taken in. I've had four successful moves since and never had any problems.
