I feed them at night. They only eat chop up frozen fish. I don't know whay but they refuse all pellets. It's strange. In wild they bite bare hook but in aquarium they eat only 1 food.
I think it's possible as long as you keep water quality up (and believe me they're dirty fish!). Yellows average 10-12" in aquariums (mine is pushing 9" after one year, I got him at 3.5-4.0") and blacks around 8-12" depending on the collecting locale.
Oh no need to feed bullhead 4 or 5 times a day! I feed my adult yellow once a day before lights out about 20-30 shrimp pellets and my juveniles twice a day get flake. The adult will occasional get a few frozen prawns or live nightcrawlers but neither of those are staples. I have noticed schooling behavior in juveniles but adults tend to be more solitary. Glad they are adapting well to aquarium life for you, how many total do yo have of each species?Tnx. water qualitiy and fish healt is always my number 1 thing.
Those fish eat alot. They started to eat when light's are on. I'm feeding 4-5 times per day. 2-3 chop up frozen fish. It's insane.
They must produce alot of nitrate. For first day they were afraid of strong led light. 200w led 220 gal tank.
Now week pass and they have already got used to. They very quickly become accustomed to the new environment.
To me it seems that this is a schooling fish. They always swim together. They are not aggressive.
Arowana once chased and bitte one. Just once in whole week. Now it seems everything is ok.
They are realy fun fish to keep. Big role is feeding time
Oh i almost forgot. They heal at extreme high rate. Just 3 days and hook wounds were gone. None of my fish heal that fast. Amazing
