I've been giving my Arowana and Oscar Hikari Cichlid Gold as well as Bio-Gold+. Both foods are inhaled by my fish and it makes them fat and happy, not to mention colorful

thanks unfortunalely medium sized bio gold + is not available here

 

[RDFISHGUY]

thanks. Hikari cichlid gold is about 200 pesos or 5 $ in bio research.

Hi RDFISHGUY,

Do they readily accept NLS? or did you have to starve them?

I'll also try to get some Hikari foodsticks, but they seem to be harder to find now.

I bought my aro at 17" and he was fed mainly prawns and shrimp. He would not accept pellets for 24 days. Although he would mouth them before that he never really ate them ravenously for 24 days. Now he's crazy about the stuff.

Hikari food sticks contain the following ingredients:fish meal, krill meal, wheat flour, alpha starch, flaked corn, rice bran, brewer's dried yeast, enzyme, cantaxanthin, asyaxanthin, L-lysine, DL-methionine, vitamins and minerals including stabilized vitamin C

Fish meal (likely just the parts thrown away at the fish plant) and krill meal (again garbage parts such as shells) and a whole bunch of grain fillers. You could probably get as good or better results if you fed your fish hot dogs.

Protien isnt the only thing you need to feed your fish.....Thats like eating steak all day, you'll get fat and unhealthy. If you wanna feed basically pure protien, use raw chicken breast cut into small pieces.

That's exactly why I got my arowana off the prawns and onto a QUALITY pellet that contains protein and vegetable nutrients and not a bunch of fillers.
