Freeze/Sun Dried Food

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Just got my silver aro 2 days ago. Read around that they won't eat for the first 24hrs. Put in dried prawn this morning, fed the dog then turned around and he was munching on the prawn. YEY!!! Tried to put another one, bit it and then spat it out!! does that mean he doesn't like prawn or he's just full?

That's not true. As long as you acclimatise the fish slowly and well then most fish will eat within a few hours. Mine started feeding in around 40 minutes of arriving from the courier!

Arowana's are quite good in feeding in the sense that they do not stuff themselves to they look like a ball and will spit out food when they've had enough.
 
When you guys are feeding your baby aro's do you notice that they will only eat from the surface or do they actually dip down to catch sinking food?
 
My baby arro eats at all levels he even picks the brinesrimp that i feed him off the ground :) yeah mine also bout 40 minutes after putting him in i didnt expect it to after a 1 hr car trip..

btw hes a liech
