New African Arowana

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Im guessing he is about 2years old! Got him little less than a year ago at 7.8inches.. At the time he hadent eaten in about 2-3weaks and was only given bloodworms.. So he was really thin. But I soon got him going on smashed shrimp mixed with some homemade frozen shrimpmix, I also often smashed pellets into the mix.

But today he's about 12 inches and his main and favorite food is hikari gold floating :D I also think a big help is that I have a conrner filter which he loves to eat from.
 
sorry for your loss. just keep trying!
 
From your pics he was looking pretty rough. Always observe the fish in the store before a purchase, and make sure they feed the fish for you. If it doesn't eat, they peobably haven't been able to get it to, which means it's been starving the whole time there.
If they refuse to feed it, walk out and never return. They're crooks.
