He is in the Quarantine tank I use for new fish. Bare tank with air stone and an internal hang back filter.

No jumping n banging wall activity I've noticed.

Strange

I’m not an expert on Arowana diseases but you could possibly look into this

My Aro used to lose scales every time I changed the water because it got so scared it used to throw itself about into everything hence why I asked if yours jump and bangs into things
