luckily nothing happened to feeders...the goldies are safe and back with other goldies... that was a last attempt to get him eating.. but he has never ate live so i quess he never will.. it is back to cooked shrimp and arrow pellets and frozen silversides.........
 
Just wanted to tell everyone.. that there is a complete change now in his eating behavior.... he is very aggressive...... i mean really aggressive... and cannot seem to get enough... of course i stop after 4-5 jumbo shrimps... but he wants more.. he jumps and splashes like he is starving.,.. wow talk about trying to make up for lost time... never witnessed him so aggressive.. did he lose his mind? i hope not.

Sounds great, my jiardini took 1 week to get him to eat floating arowana sticks, what type is your arow, I had a black before I had eating only sticks. Seems to be less aggressive when fed sticks.

i did not panic but i sure was concerned.. i have been through it before too.. but when the meal worms, goldfish feeders and crickets did not work.. i was starting to give up... then suddenly it all turned around again.. so motto is ...never give up..and they can go for a very long time... Older bigger ones of course.. thanks..
