how big are the egg sacks???? not sure if it will die but if the egg sack was around a dime size still I would say its a goner but i'm no expert

The egg sacs are pretty large... they're hot-dog shaped. thinner but a little longer than a dime is wide. So yeah big egg sacs eh?

I tried feeding, doesn't look like they are interested in eating like 2 of the 6 baby oscars. Maybe the baby oscars are stressing out the baby aros?
 
Best bet is to keep the baby aros in a tank by themselves until they are 5-6". The oscars will out compete the aros for food and may kill the aros outright.

How many you gettin? They coming from Infinite aquatics?

i am getting 2...they are comming from tfd as i also have retic rays and a pbass on the order...they were $8 so i said why not...i hope to add them to my existing silver and maybe add a few more when the big pond/tank is finished...i hope to get some breeding in the big pond...i know it is a long shot, but there is a chance...
 
oscars are just to curious to have with little frightened aros...i tried with a larger baby aro and still was to much, best to seperat them...that is if you want the aros to live longer...
 
definitely keep your aros alone until at least you got them healthy and eating.

My old baby aros, their sac went away within the first week, and they were eating by then
 
thats awesome...at this point in life for the baby arowanas..temperature is key...make sure to check on temperature and filtration...
