Hey guys. we shall share our aro's diet here! I have 2 asian arowana (rtg & hbrtg) and a silver arowana. ;)their current diet consist of gut loaded catfish, crickets and superworms! they are gut loaded with hikari jumbo carnisticks. only on the half hour before feeding i feed hikari jumbo carnisticks to them. if not I'll just leave a piece of cucumber for a source of moisture. but my asian aros don't seem to like superworms now, they were once mad about them.:confused: maybe is because the black crickets that I'm feeding that the asian aros are now mad with. crickets are lower in protein, so i have to gutload them with pellets and feed it together with catfish, catfish eats loads of jumbo carnisticks. the catfish can be a source of protein accompanied by the high calcium crickets. hope you guys can share your diet for your arowana!!! Cheers! :D
 
I purchased my arowana the beginning of Dec. Since then I have been feeding Hikari food sticks,cut up shrimp,tilapia fillet, and beef heart. I feed 2 times a day. I know it sounds crazy but i swear he grew 3in since then.:D:popcorn:

34" silver and 18" green here eat market shrimp, smelt/silversides, and both especially love superworms!! they stopped eating pellets around the 2-3 year mark. I'll sometimes stuff some hikari pellets into the food.
 
My 5inch jardini eats, blackworms, hikar floating sticks and bloodworms!!
