HI 
I got myelf a small silver arowana (about 5" to 6" ) yesterday. Its currently being kept in a 48 x 22 x 18 tank. but i have filled it only upto about 7 inches since the pet store that i purchesed it from asked me to do so stating that the pressure created by the entire volume of water could harm the fish.
I fed it last night with some float feed (it only had one pellet) since then it has refused to have anything else such as prawns or dried shrimps.
It keeps moving (on the surface but goes into the bottom often) about the tank and use to circle the food that i use to put in, but it never eats them. Today when i gave it some prawns cut into small pieces it took hold of a small piece and then put it out again.
Is my fish under stress??? can somebody help me please ??????? Really Worried...
