Feeding

feed MORE, vary the foods, try feeding new foods the Arro doesn't like, use Hemostats or feeding tongs to get it down to the other fish, move the other fish to a different tank, feed more, feed more, feed more.....feed BIGGER food items.....there's a million things you could do
Get rid of the other fish. Either the Africans will grow up and wreck the aro, or the aro will grow up and eat the africans.
Put in a pipe that goes to the bottom,feed fish thru this tube(use sinking food)pipe should be attached to side of tank.
Try frozen bloodworms, thaw three cubes in a cup of tank water then dump it in. Your Aro won't be able to get all that as it will be too spread out
With aggressive feeders I feed at one end then quickly at the other.
I had this problem with my RTGG eating everything, even my tinfoils didn't get a look in and they're quick as hell. I used the above mentioned tube method but this just seemed to help my bottom feeders. The solution was easy in the end. My RTGG goes to one end of the tank at feeding time and i'll drop in a steady flow of peas, pellets, prawn, allsorts of stuff. Whilst she's preoccupied with stuffing herself at one end, i drop food in the other end of the tank for the other fish. It works brilliantly. Word of warning though, if you don't keep a steady flow of goodies preoccupying your arowana it will undoubtedly notice the feeding activity at the other end of the tank and it will go and upset the other fishes mealtime by eating their food and you'll be back to square one. Good luck.
