Ok around 6am this moring my wife got up for work and was on the computer with all the lights off besides the computer moniter. Suddenly she heard aloud bang. When she looked it was my beutiful black arow laying on it side with a huge gash on its head. She woke me up and man am i pissed. It must of got startled and it jump super hard and hit its head on the glass tops. At the moment its not swimming straight and its tried jumping a few more times afterwards hitting the glass again. What should i do ad salt and has anyone ever had this same problem also how can i avoid this from happening again if it pulls through.
 
Man this really sucks but i just added some stress coat and its looking better swimming straight know. If i end up loseing this expensive black arow im sticking with cheap silvers for know on.
 
You have pratically spooked your aro and that's why it jump like crazy. It should be fine. Just keep it as normal will do.
 
was the computer in the same room as the fish?
also try leaving a night light on for the fish. i have to leave a light on for my tank.

Add stress coat, stress zyme, aquarium salt and raise the temp to 82 degrees. Do this asap.
