looks more like a vip red asian arowana.
but i guess rtg.
 
Nice arow, but the banded shark is coldwater, needs high oxygen content, a fair amount of current, and he's going to die soon in those temperatures.
 
your highfin will lose it's fin, because they do so when they get older. Only young fish have that high, attractive fin. But they are slow growers

Please take my word for it. It's not uncommon for them to survive for a year or a bit more at tropical temps, but they eventually succomb. I'm completely positive on this.
You're not the only person to have tried this and thought the fish would be ok because it appeared healthy. It just doesn't work, the stress of being in too high a temperature for too long, and probably the effect on their metabolism, eventually gets them.

People, including me, have had trouble keeping these fish alive for a prolonged amount of time (more than a year or two) in a coolwater aquarium/pond, much less a hot tropical aquarium. Mine did really good in my native fish tank at 68 degrees until my air conditioner went haywire and the tank was around 75 degrees for a couple of months. Next time, if there is a next time, I'll be sure to utilize a chiller.

I wish you luck and hope everything goes well with him, I just don't think your fish will be the exeption.
