my new arowana (help)

[CHUPA CABRA]

i just got 3 baby arowanas delivered (ups)
the water was frezzing 2 were olmost dead (floating upside down)
one was ok, i revived the other two (a miracle)
they look very week, i have the temp at 79, should i raise the temp more, like upper 80's
should i feed them guppys???
any comments please, first time with arowanas

GL with the fighting and no guppys,feed em krills,mealworm,pellets and yes raise too 82 degree

I had the same dilemma after shipping. I would go with the temp around 82 and they cant resist cricket's. I would also add some aquarium salt to deter any infections while the fish are stressed from shipping.

 

[Hao]

i agree about the salt

 

[Ians aro]

keep the lights off also...

 

[Hao]

yea lights make em stress

 

[Mike fail]

crickets!!

 

[Hao]

not 2 much, crickets make them addicted like smoking O_O and feed them more of dried krill/pellets and worms

 

[crowconor]

yeah and when they satrt to get bigger like 6-8in shrimp,tilapia fillet and try to wean them to pellets if not already

food sticks from Hikari as soon as they will eat them...bits of prawns for treats...let them get accustom to their surroundings...
