refusing everything except...

[Nozebleed]

hey...my baby jar refuses to eat the following! yes...i have a list.
Freeze dreid market shrimp
Freeze dried krill
Freeze dried daphnia
prawns (defrosted) he also spits out defrosted bloodworm
or any pellet...so far i've tried king british cichlid floating pellet for carnivours.
NLS 1mm all purpose floating pellet.


He does however eat freeze fried bloodworm! and only that. So what can i do to get him eating a variety of foods?

try starving him and giving him the other kinds. every once in a while give him the bloodworms so it doesnt die but try to work in the others. thats what i did with a stubborn jd who would not eat pellets. now he eats them just fine.

How big is he? Try feeding him small gut loaded crickets. When he is feeding aggressively start trying broken up hikari food sticks.

A great way to increase a shy fishes appetite is to increase the competition. Fish like small tetra's or barb's are a great addition with baby arowana's to get their appetite going. This increases the range of foods they're willing to accept. This way delicate and small arowana's are not at the risk of damage or stunt when starved. Best of luck .
