What is your current feeding schedule and what do you feed him? Have you done anything to him/ his tank lately that might stress him out? Try varying his diet a little and see if he takes to any other foods.

Trying giving him some greens, lettuce, peas, etc. In the wild, fish eat a lot of stuff and are nibbling constantly on roots, leaves, etc. They need more variety than just flakes.

I find my arowana can't resist tiger prawns river trout mixed with spinich and a little garlic,The garlic trigers some sort of appitite stimulant in fish and usualy works for me.
top discus breeders swear by it.
Hope you get arry sorted

Some times overfeeding leads to lose of apetite and the arowana starves itself for a few days,or the other reason could be some change in tank is stressing your fella.
