Baby Arowana vs food sticks

[TheAlmostPanda]

my baby silver is having problems om nom noming (eating) half sized food sticks, he is not quite able to get them down. Suggestion for a smaller food? ive tried cutting them up but he seem to tank a long time to swallow. vid soon

just crush the pellets smaller. or soak them in garlic before you feed them. or pre soak them in water to soften them up. give the aro time to eat before you give another pellet. soon you will have to give it whole tilapia fillets and you will miss the days when it was full off of one or two pellets.

Baby silver? Under 3" should be fed freeze dried bloods worms. Once it is plus 4" you can start feeding broken pellets.

agree with the above.

if you must use foodsticks, let em soak and soften first.

its about 6 inches, it was feeding on blood worms but now it can handle small pellets, and the occasional feeder. So broken up food sticks are fine, and about 1-2 3times a day?

i constantly give small aros food. with a day to rest. as soon as their stomach is gone i feed again. till they are over 12" then i go to a 2nd day or 3 day cycle. at that size it should be able to take a full normal food stick. all mine did. min a half.
