yes. At this size they're very sensitive to temperature/water parameter fluctuations. Feeding can prove to be difficult sometimes as well. Obviously it can be done but you need to exhibit extra caution.

On the bright side, it only takes a couple of months for them to become more stable (with size):D

Baby guppies, blackworms, and crickets is the best bet for feeding, but they can sometimes take prepared foods. Mostly it's trial and error
 
awww that baby arow is SO cute lol.
They are very difficult to raise though. My very first arow was like 4" and it didn't make it.:(

i dont find them fragile at all if they are cared for properly.

compared to a larger arowana or "tough" fish, they are fragile.
 
Baby silver arowanas are not fish for begenning hobbyists. If you have experience though they are not to bad, just have to keep an eye on your water parameters. Keep the water in top condition and keep temp and pH from fluxuating.
 
wow, i dont know anywhere i can even get one that small anymore. i remember back in the days, they can that small and very easy to find.

g/l with the baby aro! :headbang2
