I saw on you tube where some one was feeding their Arrowana mice. Is this healthy? Is it better to feed them mice instead of feeders, because I heard that it is unhealthy to feed them feeders?
Arrowana eating mice?

i think feeders are not the best way to go for feeding fish, endless you QT them for a good two months. pellets are good. mice...could be good, if it's korshuer.
rodents carry a lot of disease. so probably not. although since its bought at a pet store its probably safer.. i wouldn't do it
An occasional mouse isn't going to hurt them, but I think it's cruel because it's not being gulped down in one shot, so the mouse is suffering. Also, if it's not pre-killed, they can do some internal damages.
I know a guy who raised a silver from 6" to 26-28" on nothing but rodents. I have to say the fish looks good(slight drop eye on one side). I still don't do it though.
