New 7" Arowana not eating

[zhuangsw]

hi bro? so is ur silver eating already?
buy live feeders for it, like shrimps or feeder fish.

all predator fish cant resist live fishes, but if they really do, that means something is wrong. check your water parameters or your fish might be sick or too stress out..

hey - why would too strong a water flow dampen an appetite?

bro, 2 day is ok, when I bought my aro, it don eat for months, u can try life feeding like crikets, froggie, at the same time put some driftwood to create the type of environment. And U can also add in the vitamins to boots up the appitite, like S11.......Hope this will help. Don worry if it don eat for days, is common.

right. Arowana dun eat for days even weeks is ok, but if the pH level is already at 6.5 to 7, i guess adding of drift wood should prevent as it will additional bring down the pH.
