Welcome to MFK-
Diet seems fine-But would suggest getting it one some raw seafood as well....To bring on growth and add some girth to the aro....Other wise diet could also consist of insects,pellets,aro sticks.RAW seafood...
I'm sure other's will chime in sooner than later also with opinions...

it suposed to an jar but il take an picture , i'm not new to keeping fich , i had dicus.
s my tank ok . its is 2.5 meters long and 70 deep and 70 high.
it has an 2 meter ,50cm , 50cm filtration tank filled up with very good filtration ( it used to an tank of somebody who held discus champion fich , so no expense spared.
the pump is an big pond filter , exit of the water back in the tank is at 2 place at right on the top opf the water for good water movement and water cycling and oxygin.

That is a black aro or a silver aro----I'm no expert...
Sorry I have no clue on how to tell if your tank is big enough to house one....

This is one beautiful arow, just outstanding pics too,
i think your tank is about an 8x2x2 (240g), which will be good for a couple years. the legth is good for a long time, but the width (and maybe the height) aren't enough for life.

I am 90% sure it is a Silver Arowana. It sounds like you have a 240 us gallon tank which is the minimum for a full grown Silver Arowana so you should be fine with that tank...

nope, its more than the standard 240, its 4 inches wider and taller, plus its a little longer than 8' I think that would land him about 300+ gallons. i'd say silver to. 1200-1300 litres?
good to see some europeans here dude! I have been to belguim 2 times to visit Graspop metal meeting! Great festival and most of all great people!

Nice silver aro..good to start him off on pellets, frozen bloodworms, crickets if available. Peeled shrimp is ok, make sure the tail, head, and skin is off.
