How often should I feed my 26" to 28" Arowana??

Is your aro shrinking? started at 30" and now down to 26-28".

I feed mine market shrimp 6 days a week. I also jam a cichlid stick into the middle of the shrimp. Remember remove the tail before feeding.
 
i was told he was 28 to 30 but i mesured him and hes around 24 or so
 
Not sure, but I'd imagine pinkie mice would be quiet a fatty diet for them. Not an expert on silvers digestive system though.
 
I've been feeding my silver a diet of Hikari Bio Gold and crayfish for 12 years and he is nice and plump and has spectacular color. Was thinking about using Hikari Massivore Pellets....anyone have any luck with these?

Yeah, the massivore are good. There is a thread on them... pretty much the same as the carnivore pellets, but bigger.
 
Or you place them carefully on the top, and maybe the surface tension keeps them up. I admit, not exactly an answer lol, I just notice it when i throw them in now and again, they don't sink.
 
I'll probably just stick with the Hikari Bio Gold then, because they don't sink and i don't have to worry about uneaten food fouling the tank...
 
I use Hikari carnivore sticks and freeze dried krill. Occassionally she may also get a nightcrawler. I feed monday, wednesday, and friday
