dont feed him crickets u catch yourself, they could have pesticide on them which will make your arowana sick. I think your silver might be a little small to eat geckos or lizards unless the geckos and lizards are tiny. Anyways try to find a store that sells crickets.

To make pics you have to click on manage attachmants bellow. I had many arowanas and I know from my experience that small aros are always shy in the begining and the best thing is to put the food in the tank and leave the room so they dont see you. I always use pallets and blood worms for the small ones it will take about one month before the fish will start eating in front of you
 
If the jar is very aggressive at feeding time, that could be enough to scare your silver off. I'd look at dividing the tank until the silver is eating regularly.
