Spectrum pellets are good too not too expensive full nutriments.

thnx everyone but i was wondering i have a 400 gal with 1 tiger oscar 14inch and 4 albino oscars 7-9 inch 4 small misc. cichlids i 16inch pacu
i am willing to get rid of two albino oscars to get a 6 inch silver arowana (am willing if neccessary to put into a temporary grow out tank
want to also get 3 inch dinosaur eel and a 4 inch FW moray eel
have another 400 gal will set up if neccasery
any suggestions ????
if the extra 400 gal is neccarery how should i group all my fish between the two?

I don't think I have ever seen pacu and arowana put together before.

 

[triniyute]

:/ but i have another 400gal so u are saying that the arowana will need to be seperated from the pacu ( from what size would the arowana be threat to a 16 inch pacu also would an arawana be compatible with oscars?

Hi, Im new to the fish scene and got me some oscars, Is floating pellets sufficient or must their be a variety i.e. bloodworms etc?

 

[triniyute]

umm floating cichlid pellets are a good staple diet
but yes a more varied diet is required
i feed my fish:
floating cichlid pellet (staple)
lizards
small frogs
boilled shrimp
boiled fish
small crabs
freeze dried krill
freeze dried tubifex
bottomfeeder food sinking pellets (for bottom feeders)
homemade blend of all the good stuff : crab meat, fresh wild caught ocean fish(caught by me), bannana, grapes, oysters, shrimp,lettuce, and vitamins.

oysters
corn green peas
green mango ( young mangoes)

oh i forgot note that everything except the "staple" is a "once in a while" type thing (not to be a daily thing) i try to give 2 treats a week and obviously different things every week
