I HAVE HAD MY ARO FOR 2 DAYS AND HE WONT EAT NOTHING I HAVE TRYED STICKS PELLETS AND ROSEYS AND FREEZED DRGRIED KRILL HE LOOKS AT IT BUT THATS IT I DONT WONT TO LOSSE HIM

How big is he? You are wasting your time for the first few days with some arowanas. They will settle in to the tank and eventually eat.
 
yea dont even bother trying with an aro for the first 3-4 days, let them settle into his new home dont rush it he will eat
 
I had one that was 10" go for a month without eating when I moved it. Just give it some time and make sure it's not being stressed.
 
It'll say, "Dude..I'm totally stressed right now"...









j/k..
If it acts out of the norm. Whether it be Skiddish or lethargic.
 
Keep lights off most of the time.. you can tell if he is stressed if his tank mates {if } any are bothering him} you can tell if he isn't swimming...but if he is cruising he is learning his bounderies of his new home.. he has to get use to everything.. and when he settles in his stress will go away.. you can still try to feed on and off until he finally eats.. but if there is no one else in the tank to eat it ..take out all uneaten food.. keep water up to par.. can you find out what he was eating before you got him??
