I just bought my 4" arowana from a lfs and all of em had rough fins but this one is getting worse! i figured it was cause they where young and theyd fill in. but today i got home and hes sitting on the bottom with bad looking fins. I currently have it in a 10 gallon with piranha in it before but i did a 50% water change after removing pirannha and before adding arowana, there is currently a plecostumes and some feeder guppies in there. im getting a 55 gallon in 2 weeks and then in a year a 180 gallon. ill include a pic, is this indeed fin rot, tell me his fins will come back to full beauty, also what should i do? i noticed the temp was at 74 degrees so i pumped it up i read they need 76-82.

p.s. HELP!

The fins can still regrow but it'll take time. Water changes are the best way to help. If it gets worse, try antibiotics for possible bacterial infection.
 
true...water changing might help!!!
