My arrow jumped out of the tank he's about 2ft. I lol basically gave him CPR he's alive and swimming around but a little banged up His barbells are a little red not bleeding anywhere. But his eyes are now a little hazy I closed the opening so he can't get out now if he survives. He still straight not swimming crooked and his body is not crooked. What do you guys think?

Put weight on the lid asap also I suggest adding aquarium salt to the aquarium to prevent fungus. Keep water pristine by doing 50% water changes every week and hopefully the Aro fully recovers
Probably scratched his lenses. Chances are he will heal up. Arowana are incredibly durable fish. I can't stress enough how important it is to keep Arowana covered with heavy weights on the lids. I have a total of around 50 pounds of free weights laying on the lids of my tank to keep my aro in. He's a relatively calm aro, but still hits the lids on a regular basis. I use polycarbonate instead of glass. This gives a bit when he hits it so he doesn't injure himself.
Man I hope he heals up I've lost a silver to the floor before...they are poweful fish...i have a good amount weight on my lids and my silver still moves it a bit when anyone other than me is in my fish room for too long
I lost a 13inch arowana from jumping out my tank in the middle of the night. I thought the lid was strong enough.
