I have a 4-5 inch silver arowana and his fins are pretty black, they say it's stress. How would I lessen stress on this little guy? I had him in a 55 gallon but he got bullied my a datnoid so i switched him to a 10 gallon for now. I feed him freeze dried krill and freeze dried bloodworms. Thanks.
 
Try adding some floating plants for cover. You need to get it into a tank and let it settle. Moving small aros is very stressful on them.
 
Yea, lol, My little aro is in his 240 For Life, First tank he ever been in, besides his breeding tank, got him when he had his eggsack, he was still in the bag just got off of the delivery truck when I bought him.

According to this thread you posted your silver was in a 125g tank:confused:
 
turn off the lights for a while and add some blackwater extract
 
good water conditions, food, TLC and the most important one...time
