Hello everyone,
I give my arowana worms,shrimp,small cichlid pellets, and large cichlid pellets but the only thing he seems to touchis the shrimp. Does shrimp provide enough nutritional value? I will keep on offering pellets and worms if one day he does decide to eat them, but for now will he be okay on only shrimp?
Thanks,
Tiffany

why do you keep making new thread when you already have a thread on feeding your aro, anyways a varied diet is good..but if your aro takes nothing but shrimp then its absolutely fine..nothing to worry about
 
Yeah just ask more questions in the threads you already have. Is this freeze dried shrimp? I wouldn't recommend only feeding freeze dried shrimp, there have been those who have reported digestive problems with feeding only the shrimp. In order to get the aro to eat other foods you may have to stop feeding the shrimp.
 
Sorry guys,
I'm still pretty new to this site. So am I supposed to post my questions on the threads I already made?
BTW thanks for answering my questions.

Yes if the question is the along the same lines. If it is all about just arowana it could even be lumped into one thread. Just makes things easier and you get less repetitive advise.

So is the shrimp your feeding your aro, freeze dried shrimp?
 
well market prawn/shrimp should be fine... in my part of the world if successfully trained we do use it as a (aro)main diet...
 
I heard and always thought that nothing beats live's for aro's (morio worms/crickets)
Why not give aro a varied diet !
Try pellets aswell!
