Yes

  1. ...I recognize that I will likely be asked to do a test, and that water tests are critical for solving freshwater health problems.
Do you do water changes?
Yes

Hi All,
I have a four year old Silver Arowana that sits on the bottom and does an occasional dart to the top and back down to the bottom. I've tested my water and also taken to The Fish Gallery and local fish shops to be tested. All tests show parameters to be very good. Arowana hasn't eaten for about 8days. I've always fed fresh tilapia fillets, shrimp night crawlers. Visually he looks fine eyes are clear breathing is not labored. Gills appear to fine also. I have Bishier in tank they don't mess with him they are just fine.
Tank is 250 with FX6 and SunSun 704B, 150 Wavemaker. Sand substrate and its planted.

Welcome aboard

It could be a age related issue or possibly got spooked and is in shock from banging itself into the aquarium.

Maybe hit the tank as Tom said. Would watch and wait it out. Don’t think any meds would help so far.
