You really need to start feeding ALOT more...massively underfed AND stunted...

Okie.. Hw do u guys decide that my fish looks stunted? im using a six feet tank

Ok Guys, i really appreciate the the help you people have extended as a guide to me.

For better understanding, i shall give a clearer statement.

Its been identified that my fish is the Green Arowana. My tank size is 5f X 1.9f X 1.7f .

Regarding its diet, i am thinking of feeding it shrimps, frog and mealworms(fed on carrots). Now i am unsure of how often should i change its diet and the feeding times. the reason i ask this is i am afraid that i might overfeed or underfeed my aro.

I'll appreciate if someone guides me along. Thanks in advance. Have a nice day guys.

P.S. The link below is the video i took of my fish.

I definitely think your aro is underfed. Try and get it onto market prawns as a staple and then feed it every second day with something else like mealworms or crickets.
What i did with mine was feed it around 15-20 mealworms in the morning and a prawn at night.
Hope that helps you.

Forget crickets, the more crickets you feed, the less chance u have of actually getting your aro to eat something else.

I find feeding it crickets from time to time increases it's appetite just so long as you don't feed it too much that it gets addicted.
