My arowana fin was torn as it jump out of tank while i was doing WC.... Will it grow back or not? The fish swim very fast and vigourously and bang against the glass... After a while it started to calm doen... But am worried about the fin... Any advice?

Should grow back. Keep the water clean and feed well.

You might considering re position your tank, so it is comfortable for aro. And also spent more time in-front the tank so aro get familiar with people

Perhaps do a couple of water changes over the next couple of days and it should get better?

For now bro don't give live food just wait til it heals 100% then cool. Also Sw is ok but bw best, shell easier to digest if you're not feeding pellets. Basically if it just started now after the torn fin, eye is prolly due to the same injury. If eye has happened before then yes it's bad water quality but either way don't let it get more infected just treat w/ melafix or something similar. 10 days it'll be clear or if not it's mucus slime that'll come back again every couple months. It's kinda normal. Fin tear is fine scales will be back in a 2 weeks.
