Feeder vs Raw fish

[Guerrero]

Hello MFKeepers!

I have a baby Silver arowana, the first 3 days I gave her fedder guppies. I Never saw it eating them but every morning I would see less and less guppies so I guess it's eating them.

Now I have it on Bloodworns, crickets and Omega Cichilids pallets and it's doing good.

I'm thinking on buying Hikari or make my own food (Shirpm, tilapia,etc) as a main pellets, and keep on bloodworns and crickets...

I'm gonna add two motoros and 3 Pbass to the tank so I would like to feed them the same, and live fish as well. I'm thinking on breed guppies, mollies, etc...

What would you suggest?

Should I do live food?
Should I do Frozen fish instead of pellets?
Where can I get live shrimp fish?

Thanks,

I suggest pellets/prepared foods over feeders. Easy to order in bulk and not worry about buying other stuff to maintain.

Less risk of infection/parasites with feeders. Not an issue if u breed ur own or qt with meds.

Can use raw fish/shrimp as a treat but not a staple. Check ur Asian fish markets they are bound to have it.
