Hey MFK, just about 30 min. ago, i was removing the canopy for my tank, considering it was just going to be a few minutes, i left the canopy off as i went to go prepare the food, when i then saw wings on the table and decided to have a quick snack lol, dumb me. After preparing the frozen food, i went to go grab the pellets from underneath the tank. As soon as i grabbed the pellets, a quick flop caused me to jump back, to find my Silver Arowana laying there, I panicked, this is my favorite fish, and i wasn't ready to lose him. i quickly grabbed him and started flowing him back and forth against the current on the tank, i felt sick looking at him, damaged, with dust all over his body, he quickly recovered and started swimming & gasping for air. He is now doing fine but i am still worried, to other Silver Aro owners, what should i expect over the next few days, swimming wise, eating, ect. any thing i should do to help? any help is greatly appreciated, thank you guys for your time.
Aro took flying lessons today. URGENT HELP PLEASE!

It's fine. I literally woke up because my arowana jumped on my face. It was only 4" at the time but I didn't realize that it was my fish that hit my face until I kept on hearing it flap against my hardwood floor. It must have been at least two minutes before I finally became aware enough to wake up and look down to see my arowana still under my bed covered in hair and dust(gross).
lol thanks for the positive message man, yeah i felt the same seeing it all covered with webs & dust. 
i hope he makes it, looks pretty good right now.

I've had a 2' jardini bash my lid off and jump out , when I walked in the room I found him covered in dust not moving , I also panicked and put him back into the tank he sank like a stone 
after about 45mins to an hour of reviving him with filter outlet on gills and pulling him back and fourth in the tank he slowly started to regain strength eventually he kicked hard and was swimming around fine again , was a very lucky escape no idea how long he was there but I'm guessing I walked in right on time , he started eating again couple of days later , hope yours is OK keep us posted on your progress

If they aren't dried out, eaten by a dog or run over with a car they will survive. They are mighty tough.
Haha, im starting to believe all the comments like that.^ He's back and eating pellets again, very happy.
