Chicken breast for your arowana

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Cool mate.. but have a read at this..

http://www.wetwebmedia.com/ca/volume_6/volume_6_1/thiaminase.htm

"Among the food fish families consumed by man, species that contain thiaminase include minnows, carps, herrings, anchovies, goatfishes and snappers. Many different invertebrates have also been found to contain thiaminase, including mussels, clams and shrimps/prawns such as those in the genus Penaeus, sometimes in even higher concentrations than those found in fish."

this is from the above link.. so once in a while should be ok.. your best bet is tilapia for an exclusive diet.. economical and i'm sure you can get it there..

thanks :) Tilapia / Milkfish / Pamngasius fillet also part of my Aro diet .
Really appreciate the help. :)
 
I feed my fish chicken breast once or twice a week. I have 1 silver Aro, 7 pBass, knife fish & flag tail. They all love it. But I've had these fish only for 3 months, therefore I cannot tell you what the long term result would be. In addition to that I feed them several types of salt water fish fillets, frozen blood worms and prawns. So far I think chicken breast is their favorite.
 
Interesting Kaya, with feeding the egg whites. Have fed egg to cichlid fry before but never though of my arowana.

Not sure you could feed raw egg to you fish, be quit messy.

I've got a hard boiled egg in the frig, off to give it a try.

Yeah both silvers ate the egg whites one even ate the yoke, but that was very messy. Only one of my black aros would take the egg whites, the other took the whites but just broke it up and never swallowed any. Tank is quit the mess now:(

:) ha ha ha.. bro.. no they def don't.. if you want to debate for the sake of debating then you have perfect logic.. then by the same logic.. we can't feed them pellets, prawn and a whole lot of other foods..
 
Yes I feed chicken to my aro and other fish. They seem to love it. Variety is key imho in any animal.
