Hi guys i just gt 3 new baby arowanas 2 days ago but they are not eating anything im trying to feed them
i tried feeding them live feeders ,blood worms,live worms ,dryworms but all they do is just sit in 1 corner not moving
im really scared and worried bout my new fishes
as of now i have kept them in a 3ft tank as i am making a large 10 ft tank ready
pls help guys i dont wannna loose my beauties
pls im a little scared too so pls suggest any tips i need to follow
 
what species are they?

On the assumption that all your params are okay, and no other fish / person is bothering them, stressing them, leave them be. If possible partly cover the tank and let them be.

They are very skittish and you are stressing them trying all efforts for them to feed and throwing all sorts of rubbish in the water. Leva ethem be for a couple of days.
 
I hate buying new fish it takes them like 1 day to stop looking at there reflection and 3 days to finally eat. just let them get use to the tank.

Try feeding Hikari carnivore sticks. Haven't yet found a fish that won't eat them.

Not for a couple of days. Let them settle down and get hungry.
 
Live feed and patience!
