My 4" arowana is being scared and shy.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
How do i feed bloodworms ? I never tried bloodworms bfore. Ill try to buy pelets and bloodworms but idk how to keep blood worms.
 
Freeze dried blood worms come packaged. You just drop a pinchfull in the water.
 
Oh, btw do i need put gravel and staff for my arowana? Coz my friend told me if i put gravels they may destroy there fins coz they love to go down at night when all lights are off so my tank has some 5 floating stuff a hanging filter a lid with light and a heater thats it.
 
Gravel is not a necessity so do as you like. Not sure what "staff" is?
 
Well you'll get better replies if you take a moment a read your reply before posting it. Also be specific, just asking about stuffs, isn't gonna get you a very good answer.

One of the "stuff" that you need is a very secure, sealed, and weighted top. Arowana are extreme jumpers and extra care needs to be taken to keep them in the tank.

How much fish keeping experience do you have? Is this your very first tank and fish?
 
Actually in this country yes but i have a 55 gallon 20 gallon and 5 gallon tank in my country. I keep oscar alligator gar and aro in my 55 gal when i left and flowerhorn on 20 gals and 5 gals has all feeders. My experience is just 2 years. So i have no idea what to put in a aro tank. this is my 3rd aro back in my country i lost one coz he/she jumped so i bought a good cover for it and the 2nd aro is doing good and this 30 gal tank has a goodlid and i put stuffs on top of the lid if ever he/she tries to jump out.
 
This is your third aro, yet you don't have any idea what to put in an aro tank?
 
Yes, coz i use to get aro's like 8" which is not scared anymore and good eaters. But this one is 4 inches and im having a hard time, Bcoz idk what to do in baby aro + whenever i open the lid and put food he freaks out. But bfore i got 8" i feed him with hands and he/she is jumping to get it from my hand.
