Try crickets, they rarely ignore crickets. And are you sure nothings wrong with your water? If your aro is floating backwards, theres a big problem. Try turning off your lights and add salt, 1lb per 100 gallons for now.
Im gunna guess you leave your lights on very often. Turning off the light somewhat calms them down, plus salt has a similar effect. Its probably still acclimitizng to your tank.
i have a baby 2" Arowana that i about a week now. he did the same thing swimming around and wondering around. he didnt eat for two days. i went to the lps and asked them about what food should i give they gave me a dried plankton shrimp. and guess what my Arowana didnt even bother. i went back to that lps and exchanged it for dried blood worms. He ate only a peice. Hmmmnnnn.. then i thought of giving him a Betta food. I have a left over of my betta pellet food (Hikari Betta Bio-Gold Fish Food) and yahooooo.... he started eating it, im giving him 4 pellet 3x a day and a piece of blood worm.
I'm serious, try buying this stuff it works great!I have a 2"er and only 2 hours
after him going into the tank he gobbles it up.
Only put small pieces of it in front of him. Like tear some of the tail off.

wow, i'd say that is one bad off aro, i rescued two 3inchers from where i work that had ich, fins all torn up, and one even has a majorly malfunctioned spine. and they still ate the same day i put them in my tank. (crickets, freeze dried bloodworms, frozen krill, and have even taken a liking to small pieces of nightcrawler)
and unless that tank is heavily planted i'm going to go out on a limb and say there's no way you're at 0 of everything. (unless it's a very large tank with one or two fish).

1. Some aros are pickier than others, silvers are especially known to be picky, not much surprise here.snyder810;2758107; said:
2. Why is there no way to have 0 everything? My tubs and tanks are ALL at 0 ammonia, 0 nitrate, and 0 nitrite. Its not that hard if you put more water changes into it...
