I just got a 4-5inch Jardini arowana Ive tried krill and carnivore sticks and hasnt eaten yet any tips would be appreciated I understand he was just moved and to give him more time
He is growing out in a 65 and will be going into a 180-240 which ever tank I can find for the cheapest
 
By cover I meant like plants, that sort of thing, not the top of the tank. Open space to swim is better for Aro's but as a little baby like this, with no cover in the tank and only a couple other small fish he is probably not feeling comfortable. I would try putting some floating plants. Then don't mess with the tank much and give him a couple weeks to come around.

I have driftwood tht goes to the top but doesnt take up much space
 
As you said, give it time to settle.

Just to get him eating try frozen bloodworms. But Id keep trying first with pellets if you are training it for that.
