Favorite Foods to Feed Large Arowana's?

[xiahaolong168]

I used to have one and I fed krill shrimp and earthworms

My Arowana is not a picky eater. It will eat anything that can fit in its mouth. There are so many things that I fed my beast such as krill, silverside, feeder, pellet, mealworm, cricket, and so on.

Man, are you lucky. My aro is a picky eater. He will reluctantly eat shrimp, but if I feed him super worms (which he loves) he refuses to eat shrimp again for a few days. I can gut load the worms but I'd rather try to get him to eat a variety of foods.

Since I feed my rays shrimp, there is no point in trying to get the aro to eat pellets as he'll just grab the shrimp when I feed the rays. Sometimes I soak the shrimp overnight in liquid vitamins (azoo).

AZOO I am not familiar with this....I think I heard about it...please inform me more about where to buy, what it contains, and positive things about the product as well as negatives. Thanks!

Be real carefull on the fatty content of Wonderworms....
feed it sparingly

Azoo is a chinese brand Mistire...I do not like it, although others vouch for it.

Try to see if you can get hold of the german JBL Aro pellets ( NeoDragon they're called )
