Arowana food and treats...

[kittyhazelton]

Well guys, just an update followed by a question.
My Christmas gift pair of silver arowanas have not shown any additional aggression towards each other now that I added some more floating plants, and logs and other items at the surface of the tank. They appear to be a lot less stressed now.
Their comfort and happiness has shown even more in their appetite. They've eaten pellets, flakes, feeders, shrimp, crickets, and pretty much anything I put in the tank so far.
Are there any particular brands of food that you guys recommend? A good pellet? I'm using a high-protien predatory fish pellet as one of my staples right now. Are there any treats that your arows go nuts over?

Your fortunate that your Arowana eats just about anything you throw in the tank, mine is very picky.
I'm not an expert just so you know, but I think most will agree on my suggestions.

Hei Feng Super Red Arowana food.
Hikari Food Sticks.
New Life Spectrum Extra Large Fish Formula. (really good food)
Frozen Krill (My Silver goes into full attack water splashing mode for this)
Freeze Dried Krill
Crickets
Frozen Beef Heart (He hits this pretty hard too)
Clean worms
Frozen Blood worms (not a real big deal, he'll eat 'em)
Tubifex worms (not sure if I spelled that right?)
Raw Shrimp
Tetra Jumbo Food Sticks (Lots of protein 46 or 47% and krill)

Just to recap my Silver really goes crazy for the frozen krill. That's all the suggestions I have. I kinda envy you in the fact your aros eat all those types of food, mine has eaten the NLS Lg Fish Formula but not consistently.
He swims by most everything else.
