Help Needed !!!!!

I've got Australian Aro that is not eating.
It's been 2 weeks.
Any solutions to it?
I have feeding gold fish, but Aro's not eating them instead kills them.

try feeding him different stuff, crickets and mealworms should be accepted in any case.

Do you know if it's a jardini or a liecharti by any chance?(not that it would really matter other then I'd like to know) how big is s/he and how big are the feeders? Do you know if it's a wild cought for sure or not? My jar is pretty pick too... but crickets are irresistable, s/he also feeds regularly on earthworms, meal worms and super worms. If you want to use feeders you could also try toughies or guppies but I'd only feed feeders as a special treat as they often carry diseases bacteria and fungi...

crickets almost always initiate a feeding response

size of aro and water params and temperature?

i would suggest to increase appetite by trying garlic extract to put/rub on food or do a water change and put right amount of salt in the new water, as salt increases appetite.

crickets are by far irresistable to any aro yum yum but beware are addictive .

good luck

new aros usually are picky eaters, maybe its still stresses with the new environment. try feeding floating food, live to initiate feeding. yes, crickets do a good job

 

[adobongrabbit]

[filiportela]
