I don't have access to live black worms or frozen black worms in will just try to continue with the frozen bloodworms if he continues to eat them I will be happy

Ok guys he is eating bloodworms however I must have all the lights off and my room blacked out and I have to leave before he will eat I have dark blinds and curtains in my room and all the lights off if I lay on the floor and look up into the tank I can see him eating that's how I know he is eating so all is well for now.... Later I may have a very hard time getting him off of bloodworms but he will be on a bloodworm diet until he gets about 8 inches

dont worry, all little aro like that sometimes, all spooky n skittish , just give it times to adapt, and you wont regret keeping it

around 5-6" , you can start to give pellets or frozen shrimp/prawn cut into smaller pieces

I always kept giant danios with my smaller arowanas. They seem to help them feel more comfortable. They swim where the aro wants to swim and this lets him know it's okay. Go spend $10 on a half dozen or so and I think you'll be happily surprised.

IMO id leave the feeders in there and wait it out. fish will eat when they are hungry. it could take awhile for it to adjust. I have a silver aro and it didn't eat for a week when I first got em. I was worried as well but its doing just fine now and eats ALOT! enjoy this time where you don't have to feed as much. it will come around.

Do you have any floating plants in the tank for him to hide amongst? My oar was a little funny untill somebody on here said this to me, now I've got plants in there it's a total different fish.

also, my aro will not take food from the surface if it floats, he will only eat if it slowly sinks, he is 4-5 inches now
