i got this arowana when he was about 7-8 inches long back in June. Now hes hitting 14 inches. I feed him only MP and carnivore sticks. I noticed that his spine is starting to look a little crooked. Is there anything i can do to fix it? maybe its genetics?

I don't think there's much that can be done tbh , my guess would be either genetics or its taken a knock on the spine as a juvi that's gradually become more noticeable as the fish grows larger .
My big male jag has a slightly crooked back from a jardini incident years ago , it doesn't seem to bother him though gets on with life just fine
 
it happen when arowana get too excited he prob saw something and ramp the glass lol. it happen to one of my jardini before but a few days later he went back to normal
