Hey whats up, My silver arowana ate a sick fish last night. It was a phantom tetra that was bloated and breathing really fast. I was gonna leave in for another day to see if it was gonna get better and I got up this morning and it was gone. I tried feeding the aro this morning and he dident wanna eat. Just seeing if anybody could give any advice thanks.

I called the store where I got the aro and he said just wait it out and he should pass the fish. Anyways heres a video of my silver http://youtu.be/xkPXIG1jddY
I am pretty sure your Aro will pass the fish.
On the other hand, Do you feed your ARO?. Aros are hunters, if she is hungry will attack her tank mates.

if he ate a sick fish... get it on something with garlic and vitamin C. Meaning NLS. Garlic supplimented/vitaminc supplimented foods will help prevent the fish from getting sick/parasites.
I have noticed if you keep your fish in good health even if you introduce a sickness to the tank you're fish should be fine. Their immune system will fight it off. Vitamin c wont do no good right now. As if a human is introduced to a cold, gets sick, than takes vitamin c. If you are worried about you're aro becoming sick feed it something with vitamin c a couple days before you feed the feeders. I have moved fish with ick into my aros tank and my aro has never had ick. Some fish have weaker immune systems than others, you could blame inbreeding.
This is 100% correct. but it would still help to minimal degree if you started feeding it vitamin c and garlic rather than not feeding it at all.
