Help On Arowana Diet

[Buminaathan]

My arowana is 2 years + old. I have a few questions regarding its diet. Currently i am feeding 2 cubes of frozen blood worm every morning and night meaning total of 4 cubes a day. the thing im wondering after reading a article is am i overfeeding my fish. My fish is about 25 cm.

I read that its good to keep changing their diet. I wish to know how frequent should its diet be changed and the quantity.

Beta carotine (im unclear abt the spelling) is good to enhance its colour. Besides shrimps and centipedes what other options are available.?

Any hobbiyist to help me out?

Ur not overfeeding it. I feed my (3) 4' bala sharks 10 times a day with flake food.

ur aros 2 years old and 25 cm, it should be pushing 30 inches by now. but a staple of pellets with a mix of shrimp and fish fillets can be added in for a good diet.

Are you sure that's not a typo as 25cm is a very stunted fish at the age of 2 .

I've never seen a 4 foot long bala shark....

Looks like you have a green aro there, i love the patterns. If the aro is 2 years old it looks like it might be stunted, my aro is 1 year old and it's around 35-40cms.
Try adding crickets, superworms and market prawns to it's diet.
