Arowanas can be skittish at any age. Just thier temperant. (Spelling).

Maybe if you add some slow dither fish, it may entice him to be more open?

I might try that. It will probably take awhile to get them in there though since I'll want to quarantine them for quite awhile. I wanna keep his tank completely sterile and free of disease risk right now while he's so young.

Can anyone suggest some good options for dithers?

Thanks for all the comments

Small angelfish? Then when he gets his act together he might eat them.

Mollies/Swordtails
Severum
Goldfish

Im thinking any fish thats a slow mover with a peaceful attitude.

try to starve him and he will eat pellets. probably

 

[ShadowBass]

I don't believe in starving baby fish. If he doesn't catch onto pellets when he gets bigger though I'll probably try it.

I keep my Arow with dats and they do very well together.

He's a pretty baby!
It will be real shocking to see how fast he will grow ...

I'm looking at mine (Houdini) as I am posting this ...
it almost looks like he got bigger since last night!

nice little silver... take good care of it

 

[ShadowBass]

Thanks.

Yeah, I was surprised at how fast they grow. He grew an inch in the first week and a half we got him

He hasn't grown much since then, but I'm sure he'll have another growth spurt soon

I keep my Arow with dats and they do very well together.

lol, I thought about keeping a few of my baby dats with him until I saw him open his mouth.
