I may have missed this, but what is the tank size and what are your parameters? What exactly is wrong with its eyes?
I bought the fish around like 12 bucks aka my silver arrow and its around 100 gallons? (the tank)
The eyes are totally fine now, cause it was like all fuzzy the whole time before I changed the water
First off, table salt is perfectly fine to use in a tank, in the right amounts, for the right reasons. Not eating is not one of them I am aware of.
Water quality should be measured to determine if it is an issue. If you have very high nitrates, and you do a huge water change, that can actually stress your fish as well.
It doesn't matter if someone paid you to take the fish, or how much it cost. It is in your care and you should do your best to keep it healthy. If I were you, I would do a little bit of reading on this species and determine what is the best diet for it. Then I would go out and buy me a test kit so I could monitor the water quality and know what is going on in the tank. (The cycling article linked below is worth a read. While your tank is (hopefully) cycled, it will give you an idea of how fish waste is processed.)

I know arrowana can jump really high out of the water and like the muscles from the arowana starts devoloping after ano fin or the pelvic fin (which one I forgot) and the long body for the fish is built for juping out of the water and they live arond the amazons and they mostly preferr bugs and insects
i am not sure by what he meant by stop feeding the troll.but i hope im not doing anything bad if it was something i said i did not mean it to be rude i was trying to be helpful.
