Please suggest for feeding Arowana

[deradlerskartal]

Hey,

I have an Asian Arowana almost 8-9" with some other carnivorous fish; motoro / datnoides / endlich bicher etc. Generally I prefer frozen shrimp (80% of all feeding) + Tropical Carnivor pellets+ chicken (rarely ~5%) but in my country, frozen shrimp prices are high in winter season so I should find spare meat resources. I reed an article about arowana feed list that has a remark about "prefer fat-free fish meat". So, I want to try atlantik bonito (Sarda sarda) that is so popular and cheap in my country;

almost no fat;

What do you think about feeding arros with this fish? Do you have a recommendation about alternative fish meat for Arowanas? All saltwater fish are banned?

Regards..

I tried morio woms (Zophobas morio) too but I cannot find them easly. Actually I want to find a fish (salt or fresh water) that can be stocked in deep freeze

Is tilapia available to you? It's usually cheap and arowanas seem to like it. Also try scallops.

ty for information. I think I can get tilapia, not all season but partially I can get. Are the scallps sea creature such as mussel? They are feeding like filter of water - I heard that they inludes heavy metal because of feed style? Am I right?

Yes

tilapia fillets are usually the cheapest option.. I use pellets, mp, tilapia, & krill in rotation

I have similar combination in my tank except the rays are kept separately

Beside frozen shrimp, I feed mussels and live baby frogs. 1 datnoid and 1 bichir like a pellets though

I give my golden aro are a centipede, cricket, cockroaches but now in China almost winter, it's kinda hard to find that thing, so if I cannot find that I feed them with chicken, frozen shrimp or goldfish (only if I have to leave the house for a business trip).
