try not to feed to many feeders. there fatty and can carry disease. try to get him on pellets or shrimp, smelt, mussles. and my friend, your tank is big enough now, with or without those plants, he will out grow that thing. jus be ready for an upgrade.

my 2 silvers are in my 8ft long, 2.5ft wide, 2.5ft tall tank. they do require some good space.

thanks for the tip my friend ill go get some shrimps i have already try pellets it seam he dont like them hehe.

Yes i would agre he will eventually start taking pellets and he will need abigger tank soon. I usually use a high quality red pellet with a slight color enhancing formula it will bring out the red in his scales and fins looks good though and welcome to the world of arrowana. I have green asian arrowana.

thanks to you to for the tips ,wow green asian aro i wish i could find one where i live, i live in crete in greece it took the pet shop 7 months to get me my silver aro.
 
Hey bro nice silver!! he'll take pellets you just gotta starve him a lil bit...and this cant be stressed enough, get him a bigger tank soon cuz he will grow very fast!! Good luck with your arowana and congrats!!
 
congrats of the fish, its a beuty. Anyhow, freeze dried foods like shrimp or krill would be really good for him at this size. I do suggest getting a VERY large aquarium next if possible. By american standards...at least 6 feet x 2.5 feet by 2.5 feet....preferably 3 feet wide though......it will save you a lot of money in the long run. Pumps, Filters, Tank, etc.
 
nice to hear he ate already and good decision on upgrading for a bigger tank
but i hate to be the one to say this but 160 liters = 42.2675282 US gallon... still SO SMALL for an arow :(
 
Nice fish. You'll need no less than 180 gallons to get you by. He will grow FAST. Very Fast. 240 gallon would be better. Removing most the plants and stuff will help for now. He looks healthy. Nice fish
