Yes feed it, though you will need to remove uneaten food. The yok sack is absorbed, but the aro can still eat while it is present. Best first food for your aro in freeze dried blood worms.

Are you saying that feeding it, is stressing it? My baby black that I had ate within 30 minutes of being placed in the tank.

Technically, you don't need to feed it until the yolk sac is completely absorbed, but if it's eating, then that's good.
