Sorry for the delay my sister in law had her baby last night just goth home now lol. Yea I tested it both nitrite and nitrate were high and something else ko or something I will check on that and post it later. But anyway I did a 50% water change. Should sort that out.
The one above looks to be Pelmatolapia mariae, a fairly aggressive species from Africa.
They are also very common as an introduced invasive in Florida.

Thank you so much for your help . So far he just swims about with my aro. He don't seem to notice any other fish in the tank. Does he get much bigger as a guess he is around 4 to 5 inches long now . The only thing in my tank that's doing anything aggressive is 2 of my Jack Dempsey they keep grabbing each other by the mouth and like pushing each other . That's the best way I can describe it . Other than that every fish in my tank gets on fine together so far . Thanks again for your help.
Nitrite is a sign the tank isn't cycled, Google how to cycle a tank or you will likely lose some or all of your fish mate...
You need to do big 60-70 percent water changes a day now, add aqua safe every time, use pond aqua safe it's much cheaper....
Google the growth rates of the fish, the arowana will ideally need a 1000 litre tank as a minimum if he survives, they get huge.
