My arowana pic=]

this is my arowana, got him about three weeks ago and at first had some trouble with him eating, but now he is on pellets=]
just wanted to know whats the difference between a jardini arowana and an australian and which one is mine? i believe he is an australian.
also if anything looks wrong with him. he swims a little lop sided and i just dont know why. all tank parameters are at completely 0 and the pH is about 7.8

Not an Australian.
It is a South American "Silver Arowana".
These get real big, just incase you didn't know.

thanks for letting me know, any reason why he would be swimming lop sided?

Guess it could be one of many things really.
Could be swim bladder problems.

If you can post a video of it's swimming, would help lots.

What's the tank size, tankmates etc?

could be too much current for him? they aren't very strong swimmers at that size.
