Is my arowana sick?

[chagoi]

What are you readings for ammonia,nitrites,nitrates, and ph? How long has this tank been running and what size and what kind of fish and how many? Fin rot is usually from poor water quality.

Ditto!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your tank looks brand new, is it? Do you understand the nitrogen cycle as it pertains to aquariums?

Ill buy more aeration and probably fix my tax remove all the water and move my fish into a container and let the tank cycle for a bit. How many days should i let it cycle ?

Takes about 6 weeks to properly cycle a tank, you can decrease time by adding some bottled bacteria. You need to get yourself a test kit, large bottle of prime, and read the link below. In order to save your fish your going to need to be doing daily water changes.
