help with arowana and clown knife

[littlevic34]

ok guys i have a 12 inch silver aro and a 11 inch royal clown knife in the same 125g tank and both are having trouble getting off of feeder fish or ghost shrimp
so im wondering what the best live food to give them both would be
ive tried nightcrawlers and they both just gave me this look like wtf are u doing lol some help would be great thanks vic

 

[LemonHead]

try meal worms, crickets..
market shrimp and stuff em with pellets

 

[littlevic34]

yea maybe meal worms will work ill give that a try tomorrow

The best live food would be feeders that you breed yourself. Gut load them with a high quality food before you feed them to your fish.

no gold fish rosey reds only

 

[littlevic34]

ok so rosyreds are pretty healthy for them? also how are the ghost shrimp for them?

 

[fishfobia]

you might want to get about 40 at a time and put them in a little set up to make sure they are healthy but if you can you have to starve your fish so they will eat pellets or you can try frozen market shrimp with no tails

i have an old ten sittin here should i put about 20 or so in there or how many u think?

Aro's will, afetr a bit of starving, adapt to what you want them to eat. Knifes are , imo, one of the worst to change over..

Do a little starvation, a couple of days...see what gives....
