damnn thats weird, try market shrimp and plop them into the tank right in front of the aros face

does your arowana eat goldfish of that size

I have had my aro for nearly 3 months now and its pushing 19" and its housed with 50 neons and 3 clown loaches at 2", and he doesnt even bother with them in fact he tries to stay away from them if at all possible. I feed him Hikari food sticks, crickets, MP, krill, and geckos.

goldfish are bad for a main staple diet, maybe just as an occasional treat. you should try foods that are available at a local supermarket. raw shrimp, beef heart, clams, mussles, squid, etc.

the probelm is if i try feeding goldfish of 3cm than it gets itself killed by my RD
which floats on surface and pollutes the water

Mine eats anything that I put in. Shrimp, fish filet, scallops, vegetables, pellets, crickets, all eaten equally well. He's about nine inches, had him a month, been in two different tanks and has eaten within a couple of hours of being in the tank.

well then dont let dead goldfish float in your tank
