Hello, I've a 8" Jardini arowana, and I've a question for you. What is the best food for an Arowana of this size? How change the kind of food with the age (so I can do a good nutritional profile for every age). Tanks in advance!

I believe it is best for the arowana if you have him on a variety of food types suchs as pellets, freeze dried shrimps, and market shrimps. I recently got my three silvers to start eating market shrimps.
can I use little fishes (frozen or alive) to feed him?What is the best kind?i'm feeding it with bloodworms, it's OK or it's better Tubifex?
I have been feeding mine silversides... came in a brick so i hit it with a hammer and just feed him chunks of fish parts lol. Also to this, I just watched my silver eat a piece bigger than his head.. theese are truly incredible fish..
If you can get him on pellets/sticks do that first, you can always get it to take frozen food later, but it will probably be harder the other way around.
if you want the best for your aro, feed him pellets.. and the live food will be for occasions only..
Pellets as a staple (always a good emergency food). The rest you can feed as you want: live/dead fish, frogs, live/frozen crickets, worms (ewwww), shrimp (i advise to remove shell and head - keep the tail) - some people say that frozen heart is OK (never tried myself).
Personally, i think live food is good from water quality point of view.
