New Jardini Arowana

[JardiniArowanaKeeper]

Here is my tank, 65 gallon and I have 1 Jardini Arowana and a peacock bass both less than 2 inches. Its kinda hard to know if the arowana is eating. What type of food would a small arowana like to eat, when I out pelts in it just seems like it floats down and he never sees it and then it just sits on the bottom. I would appreciate the help and advice on anything else! Thanks

Blood worms and flake food at that size. Baby crickets are also a good option when the fish can swallow them.

Okay thanks! I will try this and if he still doesn't see it should I just remove everything and put like tile the bottom?

I doubt seeing the food is a factor. They are probably stressed if they were just moved or do not want the food you're offering. How long have they been in the tank?

Try adding plants near the surface. I found artificial plants with a suction cup on the back work well. They have to feel secure before feeding.

Probably definitely stress than cause I just moved them in like two days ago, thanks for all the help by the way
