i had 2 greenies b4
change 30% water per week, straigh tap water is ok, ph around 7.5...temp around 80 is ok.....make sure you have current movement in tank ie powerhead
remove all sharp object from tank ie rocks, drift wood to prevent drop scales
make sure tank has glass top and no holes on top of tank.....they like to jump out if they holes are there
fastest way to bulk up is sw
for my Super Red, i use frozen sw, break in half and stuff sw with hikari sticks after thaw.......i'm sure greenies will like this too
be careful with live sw and crickets.....crickets are very addictive.....u might have hard time to ween them off crickets into mp
earthworms are good too but don't pick them from ur lawn if u fertilize
i feed my big rtg with mice and smelts.....this might be other options for u once ur greenie gets big
.......good luck

I would feed the aro high quality protein diet like the guys mentioned above, I would also supplement it with dried krill and
Market shrimp with some shell attached to it for added color and market shrimp will really bulk your aro up real fast.
If you can find a constant supply of tropical fish like swordtails ,platies and the like for cheap, I would suggest
Feeding your aro that diet to as nothing could be more natural than feeding your aro fish. Dont feed them feeder fish like
Goldfish as they are dirty and the risk for disease and parasite transmission if very high. Its also important to note
That adult arowanas should not be fed so much everyday since they are confined in an aquarium and they really dont
Get to burn all the food that they eat. . I see a lot of beautiful but overfed arowanas and it does not look healthy to me.
Regular water changes coupled with strong filtration is a must. Good ,clean water is as important ( if not more ) than an excellent
Diet for arowanas growth rate and overall health.
Some say exposing the aro in sunlight is good for its coloration. So if you can expose your aro for 6 hours a day, that would help
to make its color better.

i have had 2 greens and all i did was as advised above, look after the water well and feed it a varied high protein diet.
mine eat pellet so i fed them on that plus prawn's with and without shell and whitebait both are doing well with their respective new owners.
