My arowana was quite badly beaten up by its fellow arowanas it was comm with in a huge pond and it's now covered with injuries. Also, it seems to be swimming a little tilted and I fear it might flip over and ... die. Anyone can suggest what I can do before it becomes a reality?
 
Add salt 1.5lbs/100G and bump up the temperature. Keep the water clean. Most importantly, see if you can separate them for the time being.
 
Get it separated from the others or the beating will continue. Clean water will be your biggest help so keep nitrates under 10ppm. If there are any open wounds I would treat with melafix and pimafix. If just torn fins, then treat with salt as recommended above.
 
Wish your fish get recover soon, my Jardini died last month. I was so sad. I did water change and he jumped and smashed the glass and died after 1 hour.

Hope your fish will recover soon!
 
isolate,treat with melafix,salt, bump the temperature so it doesnt get infections and do 40%-50% waterchange
 
Thanks for the recommendations and exoticfishguy, that looks pretty yummy except it cost a couple hundred dollars per bite =)
