there are too many variables as to why ? You probably know most of them, if not all.

Some Arowanas cannot take water above 30 degree C, some even pant at 28. If his Arowana is one of those with sensitive gills (as are some people with sensitive lungs) putting them in a hot room just won't do.

I know more than a few Arowanas are kept at 30, even 31~32 but prolonged extended time in this setup may make your fish look old and wrinkled. So it is recommended to bubble tank if you prefer higher temperature.

Each fish can be different.

2 weeks is quite normal unless you see an injury or Arowana looks unwell.

Bubble tank means putting air bubbles into your tank for added air/water circulation ~ it is very much a personal choice....but i think at higher temperature 30 or higher, those sensitive ones will pant and eating habits will slow. i normally increase to this temperature when treating fungus but will bubble tank ~ after that i would drop the temperature slowly in stages to 28 and later to 26, avoiding a sudden cooling.
