Asian Arowana who dont eat???

[Faltsetas]

Was it eating when you purchased it?

What are the water parameters?

Are you running a cycled filtration system on this tank?

Any tank mates?

Sorry for asking these questions, but aros can and will stop eating when water quality is compromised.

we had imported it from singapore, Kaiju farm, and it was eating shrimps and mealworms i think...

he had eaten one week ago, some small meal worms and one zhoborbas worm, but nothing since

nitrat 10~
nitrit 0
gh 7
kh 10
pH 7

Last time i checked it was like this...

yes! im running a cycled filtration.

tank mates = micropelis datnoides, fei feng,

try to put worm or market prawn but if they dont touch. take it out do every day till they eat. I used to try for a month then they will eat a lot ( I think they afraid they are not get food so they eat a lot)

haha now you starve him to begin this process.... i would get him fat and then stop putting live food in there and only do pellets or something he can visibly see...
