growth rate for a jardini?

[JardiniBoy]

A good staple food for arowana is market prawn, market shrimp, MP, or whatever you wanna call it. It's high in protein, low in fat and calories and relatively cheap.

For smaller aros, remove the head and shell and cut into small pieces. For larger fish, just remove the head, tail (the piece at the very end) and cut into 2-3 pieces.

It's easy because you can freeze them. I feed MP Monday-Friday and try to get something else for a bit of variation on Saturday. Sunday is water changing day, so no food

P.s. Many people only feed MP with good results for many years. If you're worried about your aro not getting his vits, insert aro sticks into the cut up pieces of MP before feeding.

i've been told that frequency of feeding makes the world of a difference. Like 3 times a day vs. once.

It sure does, and make sure you keep changing water.
