Around.....
He is about 3-4 inches long had him for a few days. Like most arrows he is staying right at the top less than an inch away at all times. Here are some pics. It was bare bottom for a while but now its got some gravel. there are 2 small senegals a BGK and a Royal knife. and one more mystery fish. The silvers left fin seems to have been shredded a bit. But when i was bringing it home i noticed it spit up some of the pellets. I cant really tell if its eating i feed blood worms beef heart and broken in 1/3s. Havent seen him eat really.

What can i do?:nilly:

I have a JArdini so not my first arrow....and i know quite a bit about them.

THANKS!!!

you should really have one that small by itself, they are really sensitive at that size and could be stressed by the other fish hence why its not eating
 
I would keep it by itself as well. Just pick up another 10G its pretty cheap.

Probably cost you as much as you paid for the Costco Cheese balls.
 
8 to 9 gallons of water is pretty low, that volume of water the parameters could change drastically. Myself, I wouldn't raise a baby aro in any less then 35-40 gallons of water.

Go with the freeze dried blood worms, if he is eating you'll see him eat. They do best with floating foods at that size.
