FEEDING MY AROWANAS

[MICHAEL KUNASH]

CAN I GET BY FEEDING MY ARO'S JUST FREEZE DRIED KRILL AND BLOODWORMS(DOES THAT PROVIDE THEM WITH THE NECCASARY NUTRITION?). I CAN NOT GET THEM TO EAT ANYTHING ELSE EXCEPT LIVE FOOD.

No, once they are bigger the blood worms and krill will not be enough. Getting your aros onto a varied quality diet while they are smaller is important. Keeping them off live food is also a good idea.

With this said, what size and type are your aros?

TWO EIGHT INCH SILVERS

Get them on a quality pellet as their main diet. Your aros and your wallet will thank you in the future. Most aro owners have to resort to starving their aros before they will accept pellets though. Some take longer than others, but mine only took 24 hours before accepting pellets. Since yours are already 8 inches, I would think its ok for them to be pellet trained and starved if necessary. You might get more tips if you post this in the aro subforums.

Btw, your capslock is on

HOW DO I GET TO THE ARO FORUM?

 

[Mr Pleco]

Pellets become too expensive ($ per lb) as the Aro's get bigger. Mine eat scallops, shrimp, hotdogs,raw chicken, mussels, fish filets..

Occasionly I'll stick some pellets into the shrimp pieces , or soak in Garlic or a liquid multi vit.
