My arowana wont eat!! Help

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I would try small size crickets.. it worked for me getting my Arow to eat after he went off food for weeks... they see the action and it stimulates them..because they float at the top..if he does not eat.... remove dead crickets and try again..and do not panic because they can be with out food a long time.. but once they start eating again they will eat regular..and then you can go back to trying different things with success.
 
Careful with the crickets, i gave mine some crickets for a couple days and after that he wouldnt eat anything else but them. I had to starve him for a few days till he would other things. Prepared foods are best IMO even try chicken if you got it around the house, just make sure its not lathered in grease and seasonings.
 
i really dont mind feeding him crickets. I get 3/4inch ones 1000 of them for $20(canadian)

Ill try some other alternatives though for sure!!



I wanna add clown loaches but im afraid they wont grow fast enough and they will be lunch!!

Any other fish i should add?
