Nice!!! My baby arowana is eating brine shrimp and that's all he's eating. Won't take down anything else. Might get some crickets
Looks nice , don't bother with live foods as you've already learnt disease is always a risk plus it's hard work getting them off live once there hooked.
Try feeding bloodworm , prawn/shrimp , muscles and whitefish ,once he's taking them confidently start to season the fresh foods with crushed pellets to get him used to the taste , then gradually start to stuff larger bits of pellets into it ,eventually you'll have a pellet trained jardini that eats fresh foods too

I'm feeding it frozen blood worm right now. Feeding it dried frozen plankton and blood worm in the morning. And frozen bloodworm at night.
is it oky to just drop the frozen worm in the tank? or I need to warm up the worm to let it eat it? seems like my jardini like it when they in a cube shaped. if its warmed up the worm spread everywhere. let me know if that's bad. I saw here some 1 say its bad for it to drop the frozern bloodworm for jardini.
It is best to try and defrost it but I know what you mean about the mess it makes , it's always been a worry of mine when they eat it still frozen but tbh I've never had any bad effects when it's happened ,try mixing the bloodworm with some small pieces of shrimp see if he takes it
At that size little and often is usually better than huge meals as there metabolism is a lot quicker when juvenile
K so my jardini was acting werid, breathing heavily and his body doing the S shape. So I changed the water since I thought it was ammonia spike cause of overfeeding. So I tested the water and now my water condition is way off.
Nitrate - 20 or 40
Nitrite - 1
Ph - 6.5 to 7
Carbonate Hardness - 40
General hardness - 30 or 60
Added some api quickstart thinking after the water change and quick wash on the filter I had a mini cycle. Let me know what to do next.

What's the ammonia reading ? The nitrates are quite high.
Don't clean your filter that will just kill off your BB just do smaller wc's daily to get the water stable, make sure the temperature doesn't change too much when doing this.
Is there any signs of sickness on your fish ?
