My silver aro no.3 jumped from over-excitement during feeding time. I didn't even see it happening but following a gusty splashing, I found my arowana flapping at a corner with slime and blood all over the floor and wall. While flapping, it was going into the back of the stand and so I had to hug it (after wresling with it for a while) and transport him to a safer locating before netting him into a plastic bag.
As of now, it is swimming all right but looking very nasty. I'm just hoping that the slime coat will prevent further body fluid loss.
Don't ever keep tank lids open during feeding time! I also learned from this experience to ALWAYS keep a plastic bag or a towel nearby the tank should I ever have to grab a flapping aro again.

...anyways, hope he heals up fine
