Baby arowana hasn't eaten in over 8 days!

I have now moved him to a 20-25 gallon sterilite tub temporarily by himself until he will eat with controlled tempurature around 80 degrees.

It has a snap-on lid but I did put some holes for airflow in the lid but they are way too small for him to get through

It had taken 10 days but I finally got him to eat a feeder minnow! I had to move him to his own tank with a heater but I finally got him to eat.

If you now have him alone, I would try again with anything but live fish. Between crickets, krill, blood worms, meal worm. I would start with pellets followed by the other foods based on the pellet consumption or lack of. Understandable you wanted it to eat something.
