I purchased a leichardti arowana bout 4 months ago and he is extremely skittish. He is 6" and eats a lot and chases away all the fish in the tank but when i go near the tank he'll just zoom to the other side and stay there til i leave. What can I possibly do to make him less skittish?
 
Is the tank bare?

Really bright?

Perhaps you could give him some extra cover?
 
i posted this just a few post down:

lei's actually do this way more commonly then most other arowanas. which is why people recommend or HIGHLY recommend bigger tanks for leichardtis as they are hardcore spooky fish and dart around.

watch this video and see how spazy they are even at 30"
