everytime i make a loud noise, it seems to jump causing it to hit itself against the hood. Then it starts to sink abit down to the bottom and after awhile, swims back up, is this normal? Or can it cause serious injuries to it?
 
It can definitely cause serious injuries. Arowanas scare easily and they should be kept around a non-crowded area with as less noise and traffic as possible.
 
Sounds as if your keeping it in a tank that is too small. Arowana are very skttish and need to have room to move.
