Welcome aboard
How long have you had the Arowana?
Any tankmates?
How long has the aquarium been up and running?
Have you tested the aquarium water? if so please post results it makes it easier to analyze what's going on.

My dad bought him a year ago, yes he has tankmates. I'm not sure because my dad bought it, yes we checked it.

Sorry for the loss.

Sorry to hear.
Do you know if he hit himself too hard on anything at any point? It’s possible he swam too fast into a wall or jumped into the hood and essentially concussed himself. It’s not too uncommon.
