slight melting on the edge of fins indicates a below optimum environment. If fish is new to your tank, it is likely the previous environment is no good. Improving water quality can help recovery for this issue.

not very likely to retain the golden head in your tank environment.

P/S: is that a dorado in the first pic? Is it attacking your arowana? chewing on its fins?

Thank you for your reply!
Yes it was in a comm tank before this. This shot was taken just 15min, the Arowana was added into the tank.

Probably old injuries that recovered. Will trimming help with the crooked tail fin?

I just added it to the tank so probably will help recovery of the melting fins.

The Arowana took pellets almost immediately after entering the tank. I suppose it feels comfortable enough?

How do I retain the golden head then?
The dorado ignores it.. It's a friendly piece.(:

Thank you for your advice!
