My jardini arowana does not eat from the top of the tank and waits for the sds to start eating the shrimp or tilapia and then he will snag it from them. The silver dollars eat from the top with no issues.
 
While I agree it's not really a problem, there may be things you can do to get it to eat from the surface more quickly. Bright lights can scare the fish away from the surface. Lack of cover canhave the same affect. I might try some floating plants and dimmer lighting and see if it has an effect.
