Thanks.. I saw it put one pellet in its mouth but quickly spat it out..
Might take some time for it to know the pellets are food too..

It is.. but it's all good now

did you slowly acclimate the fish to your water? or did you just dump him in?

The aro was struggling in the bag so I quickly put it in the tank.. But yeah, that was a rookie mistake on my part..

I've decided to name it Poseidon since his head has a "trident" marking..

Thats funny lol I named my pacu "poseidon the pacu" and both my northern pikes "Poseidon the pike". Unfortunately I've never ended up having success w/ fish named that.... so glad to see your aro doing better. Its a great looking fish man.

I hope this doesn't happen to your silver.. You should take precautions before moving the fish..
Prevention is always better than cure
