Healthiest foods

cichlid gold pellets seem to have good ingrediants (from hikari)
 
The Pelleted foods that I use are NLS, Cichlid Gold, Massivore, and Aqueon. Aqueon actually seem to have decent ingredients as well as a cheap price.

x2 on the aqueon ... it's better food than it gets credit for ..imo
 
Good quality pellet, chopped fish talapia, smelt etc are good suggestions. I also am a big fan of insect feeders , Meal worms and super worms, ideally gutloaded with fresh veggies. IMO a varied diet always yields the best results.

Avoid too much frozen shrimp or cooked shrimp, cooked shrimp has poor nutritional value compared to raw, but once frozen raw shrimp is very high in thiamese which leads to calcium deficiencies. Also avoid mammalian meats like beef heart, arowanas cannot break down the fats which then build up on the liver.

Hope that helps.

My Arowana went from feeders to Tilapia extremely quickly. I didn't even have to starve it. Frozen fish fillets are an excellent food source.

This might not answer your question, but I've been making my own food ,with all the above mentioned foods combined.
Diy gel food is great. Just mix in whatever you have and top it off with night crawlers to stimulate appetite.
