there are great stickies at the top of each forum, and all the arowana diet info can be found there. what was it eating at the place it came from?
baby aros have a hard time with hard foods such as pellets. A better choice would be freeze dried blood worms, most baby aros will devour them. You may also be able to get it to eat flake food. Once you aro is a little bigger (3.5-4") you can get it to eat pellets. Myself I found it better to crush up larger pellets instead of offering the the mini or micro pellets.
Good luck and make sure that top is secured well, aros have a knack for jumping through any hole that is left open.

breaking hikari food sticks in half works well. kind of tedious but its only a small amount for a baby fish. +1 for the blood worms.
My baby jardini never touched pellets or food sticks. It wanted blood worms only. Would Spit out anything that wasn't a bloodworm as soon as it put it in its mouth,. What's funny is even after fasting it for a week, there was still no response. Then for a short period of 3 days when it shared tanks with my black arowana, it watched my black arowana take broken arowana sticks and then it just started eating them. I don't know if it just got around from all the hunger or if it watched and learned. Now it chews on it, spits out softer pieces...rinse repeat until it finishes all of it.
