I stupidly left the hood crack open a tiny bit, didn't think my arowana could jump out. While I was out got a call from my brother who luckily was in my room when it happened and managed to get the arowana back in the tank, but it's fins got damaged pretty bad and it's not drinking right(obviously), it's also not eating as much as it did. At times it just floats and some what let's the flow push him backwards (got a power head in the tank). What should I do? Thank you for taking your time to read my post
help! 3.5-4in black arowana

First of all - turn off the powerhead, and give it a little time (and turn the lights off.) Don't force anything.
Yeah I'm running a eheim 2213, I tried to get the spray bar as low as I can, so it doesn't stir up the surface as much.

poor little guy sure is tore up. Make sure you give him some great water quality. But I think he'll be fine. If you have stress coat you could add that to aid in fin regrowth and slime coat. Watch him closely over the next few days to make sure he doesn't get fin rot our anything like that. Good luck with the little guy. I love black aros!!
