Ok...so for one, I wouldn't reccomend keeping African Cichlids with an Arowana. And two, I would leave the Arowana alone. It should be fine if it doesn't show signs of sickness or injury. How far did it fall? Did it fling itself across the room or plop a few feet down from the tank?
 
How long was the Asian Arowana added with the African Cichlids.
I agree with separating the aro from the African cichlids. I think the same harassment will be given from the African Cichlids. Arowana are not equipped to fight back imo.
Well with my experience with Silver Arowana.
 
Depending on tank size, maybe you could do something like another Arowana, Stingrays, Peacock Bass, or some peaceful cichlids that aren't highly aggressive.

Ok, that isn't too terrible. It should be fine. As mentioned above, just leave it alone for a while and monitor it closely. Then, after a few days, rehome the African Cichlids in favor of more appropriate tank mates (assuming that you prefer the Arowana).
