I don't see any fin rot but to keep fin rot away keep your water conditions pristine. Fin rot is a condition cause by bad water parameters. Aros can tears their own fins from swimming quickly when spooked, possible what happened with yours.

not that you mention it. every morning i am gonna check on my aro my aro tend to swim like crazy. i just hope that is all the problem i am will monitor it for at least a week and see whats going on. i been changing my water every two weeks at least 30%-40% if i can feel there is more fish waste and i clean my filters and there fish waste every week to help them have a clean water and good water..
 
hmm, aro can tear their own fins from swimming quickly? I have a aro similar size to this one and it has always been VERY skittish (as baby aro's are) but not experienced a tear of fin from it being spooked (my one jumps aswell). Not saying it can't happen but just havent experienced that before
And as you say it looks similar to a burn then maybe check your water!
Goodluck!

Thank you i will observe it. hope is not that major.
 
I would try and change the water once a week, Depends on what you feed and how messy it is and so on. It doesnt look like a issue yet
 
Arowana that size should be fed 3-4 time s daily.
