....,-hi there guys, I have silver arowana here. My problem is everytime I will feed them and just get closer to the tank and put the food they always move fast and bump the glass. I am worried what will happen to them. Is they afraid?.. Can you please help me about this? thanks... 2 oscars also on the tank..
 
what size is the tank and fish , Os and aros are really not a good mix esspecially when young the Os probably have it spooked
 
silver aros are skittish by nature. Keeping them in too small of a tank only adds to the problem. The shape of your tank also causes problems as the narrow points of the corners make the arowana feel trapped if the swim into them.

Best bet would be to upgrade to a proper sized tank as soon as you can.
 
Agree with above, better size tank and some time for them to get comfortable. Ive had same problems with many silvers, good luck
 
....,-thanks guys.. I think my aro is 12 inches and my oscars is small maybe 3 inches ^^.. Sorry for the corner tank, yes I am planning to change my aquarium to a long one.. Thanks again..
