to help us help you better, we need to know some things

what are your water parameters?
what size is the tank?
what size is the arrowana?
Are there any sharp objects in the tank?
are the lumps hard or soft to the touch?
has anything been introduced to the tank recently?
any other info you can give us, will help build a better picture

A 10" aro in a 180l? Sheesh, thats not right....

the tank has a big surface area so he is fine

lol

Do you know how big they get?! How long is your tank? I imagine it's not 6ftx2ftx2ft?

Oh, and really this should be in the Oddballs section for more detailed answers.

when he gets a bit bigger i will trade him for a smaller one and make lots of profit

It won't grow sufficiently in that size of tank. I notice you didn't answer to me asking how long your tank is.

Signs of disease are testement to bad housing. In terms of the lumps and eye thing, you do need to look in emergencies and oddballs.

3ft with a big curve and he grows rapidly

Can it actually turn around? It gets to swim twice it's body length. That's cruel IMO. That fish needs a new home asap IMO.

he is extremely healthy with no diseases i have been told the bubbles are air
an aro in 6ft tank has the same condition i have seen

you can see it on members fish and pics on this site

he is extremely healthy with no diseases

Now.... You also appear to have rays in that tank... Well what a clever person you are....

he grows rapidly

LOL, not for much longer... Ever heard that fishh need AT LEAST 5x their length in swimming room? 36/10 doesn't equal five or over, unless I've been lied to...

when he gets a bit bigger i will trade him for a smaller one and make lots of profit

What a lovely mindset, I can say I'm jolly happy less than 1% of everyone I've seen has that in mind.... And most that do soon come down with a bump when they realise that a) they're going to become attatched to the fish and b ) they're not going to make much profit.

Yes, and then what will you do? Theres no way you can keep rays in that tank either.

the rays are only small and do not get big they are teacup rays
