How old and how big is your arow? they fast sometimes.. especially i noticed if they are an older arow female... they can go for months without eating.. keep trying.. take out all uneaten food.. add a little aquarium salt.. and keep up with water changes..all should go back to normal unless theres another health issue going on..
Then definitly do not worry.. not at least for a few weeks.. this is normal.. and probably you have a female... i found out after many times fasting.. that i have a maybelline.. especially when there was finally concrete evidence...big orange eggs..lol... just watch him/her.. if any other problems should occur.. but i really believe this is what is going on... maturing..and even if it not a female...arows do this very commonly... in the wild they go through long periods of fasting.. ps nice size for a yearling..
only changed back to what it liked wasnt eating the other stuff either. has been about 4 days still not eating ur probly right its probly a female lol. change water all the time
Arowanas can go awhile without eating. Keep water parameters at optimal conditions and sooner or later it will eat again. My fast lasted almost 2 months, then it just started feeding aggressively again.
