hi every1, im new to this site and i need your help
i bought a 12'' blue arowana 3 weeks ago and put in 125 gallon tank with my 15'' silver aro and some parrots fishes. but the poor blue aro won't eat for me, it get so skinny and weak. I try pellet, shrimp, cricket, feeders but none working and it scares of other smaller fishes too. i don't know what to do now. Please help me before it die.

It hasnt eaten for 3 weeks? or it just stopped eating for you?

Blue arowana? Never heard of this. Pics? Try smearing the foods with garlic to persuade it to eat.

Blue arowana is another common name for black. Three weeks is quite awhile but some aros take a while to eat. Does it seem to get stressed at feeding time? Does the silver aro bully it? You may need to move it to it's own tank.

Also what was it eating at the LFS?

 

[tony1ng]
