Let it get used to environment by turning on the light. Otherwise off snd on may scared it to jump. If possible, do not do sudden movement like jumping in front of it or got kids tapping the glass. This will cause the fish yo panic and jump

Ts, be patient with the new aro who is still adjusting itself to the new environment as well as you.

Yes,with lights on will stabilise & calm the aro down.

Honest,it will start feeding on its own terms

In a new environment, give it sometime to adapt.
