So I was cleaning my tank and my 20" silver arowana jumped out of a little gap I had open for the suction tube. He fell about 6 feet to the ground and lost 6 scales and a wing, and I soiled my pants. Luckily he's okay I hope.

About how long would it take for him to grow them back?
 
ahh! i hope your aro is alright. watch for any signs of fungus, I had a fish jump and it lost scales and later that day died of fungus. with a little TLC your aro will grow the scales back, just not overnight.
 
dang, those slivers man...jump at any given chance -_-" but in ur case, since the aro has Wings, the chances of him jump out...or should i say fly out, is alot higher. lol j/k. anyways, the missing scales would grow back eventually, but i'm not sure about the "wing". where did it break from? all the way at the end? post a pic if u can man. and sorri to hear this, i would hate to deal w/something like that
 
hmmm what does TLC do exactly?

by wing i meant his arm, since it kinda sorta maybe looks like a wing...
 
oh...my he lost one of his fins? do you have a picture?
