My arowana (4-5in) isn't willing to eat hikari sticks, which has all the nutritions that is needed in it. It is eating glass worms though. I was wondering how would you give your arowana all the nutritions it needs to maintain in good shape?
How do you get your arowana the nutritions it needs?

starved it for 7 days. kinda sad to see it very inactive after starving it for so long.
try feeding it bloodworms. If it accepts them, then start mashing in a bit of pellets into the mix. Increase the amount of pellets everyday gradually over 2 weeks. Eventually you should end up with a thick paste. At this point it should already be used to the taste of the pellets, but not the texture. So start adding in whole pellets in with a bit of paste. When feeding the bloodworm/pellet mix to the arowana use a spoon and only put in what it can eat in one bite at a time. Also feed in the same spot. This is the method I used to pellet train all the peacock bass, silver aros, jars ive ever owned.
Okay, thanks for helping out.
Okay, thanks for the information. This would really help.
I don´t think Arowanas should be put into any aquarium... they are just not suitable for that kind of environment.
why not, if you can properly house them, feed them and give them good water quality then what's wrong with that. if you don't think you should keep arowana in a tank then how about all the other monster fish?
