Try some crickets as they often like to take food from the surface

It may still be settling in. If it isn't eating with 10 days then you need to take action. After that it is in danger of starving itself and you will end with a big investment floating upsidedown in your tank.

I would just give it time and it's natural instincts to eat should take over

as said before what size is it? because baby arowana's tend to be the most skittish things in the world but they cannot resist food even on the first day you buy them and small schoaling fish such as baby convicts or neon tetras help them to fell more secure

Hey! I've had my arrowana for little over a week, mabye 2 weeks max anyways, it all depends on what the LFS you bought it from was feeding it... Ask them what they fed it, also try crickets like Tommo suggested, my little guy loves em (when I say little I mean 4-6")
