Yes its fin rot. And if you have 2 silvers, you're really going to need to upgrade really soon...

Use salt. People have told you now several times that it could be fin rot or a bit of fin nipping. Regardless, bump the temp and add salt.
I'm afraid you should have done your research before making the purchase of 2 silver arowana, as it doesn't seem like you will be able to take care of them in a 50g. For 2 silvers you would need at least a 300g, and even then, when dealing with more than one silver, you should get 3. (this does not, DOES NOT mean you should go buy a third right now.)
Either look into upgrading to a 300, or you may have to get rid of them, after you get them back up to health that is...

stay with salt, no meds unless absolutely neccesary. And upgrade like now...Next time, research before you get the aro.

You should never get two arowanas, the more aggressive aro, sooner or later, will pick on the less aggressive one. Whereas if you get three or more, it's harder for each aro to target just onedamn... before i bought it i told the store owner to teach me like, im interested on buying aro and i told him that i only want one.. he tol me that it should be bought as partner 100$ a pair.. if only i know this website earlier i wouldnt make this big mistake... 
now i tried to return it and he wont accept it so... right now im looking for a nice deal of a tank and sadly no luck at craigslist...

Hey, everyone makes mistakes. One of the biggest mistakes is taking advice from your LFS. (seems they should actually be of help, but are usually just after the sale.) Always come here to MFK to research your fish before buying. The search function will almost always direct you towards great information/links/etc.
my aros use to get that from time to time it usually goes away in 2 days if not then i add about half a teaspoon of salt to my 100gal
