Arowana is a wuss

Your aro is eating well, so don't worry to much about him being scared. Overtime this will pass. A couple of things that will make your aro more comfortable, as stated above add floating plants, make sure you have a background on your tank. Spend time with your aro so he will get more accustomed to your presence.

I will take these things into consideration and will work towards the best for my arowana.

My arow still gets skittish at times, but will accept food even when I am there. I wonder when I will be able to hand feed it...

spend alot more time with your arow and not just at feeding time .If you aquarium has more then 1 bulb try dimming one side of the tank buy taking out the other bulb,he will feel lil more secure if its shady on one side, my arow was just like yours when i got em..<-----------------thats him right there.. good luck
