provide as still of water you can, the yok sac is very delicate. you don't need to feed untill the yok sac is gone. One the sac is gone blood worms work well for feeding
 
MOST IMPORTANT THING ABOUT AROWANAS You need to make sure your tank top is COMPLETELY covered or eventually the little guy will end up on the floor. What size tank is he in? Eventually you'll need a very large tank. 180 gallon is absolute minumum. But for now smaller is obviously okay. However, keep this in mind. THEY GROW FAST. Nice fish
 
Ok hes in a 55 by himself right now getting a 180 at tax time thanks for the info ill torn off the bubbles and hope for the best
 
just do your best in giving it optimum water conditions. try to keep him in a smaller tank at first so you can observe better and adjust water parameters faster, especially coz it still has a sac. getting them with still an egg sac is very much discouraged....
 
Provide great water quality. At this point with the egg sac, they are very delicate creatures.
 
I don't think you could say that was bad. I'm not sure, but my initial reaction is, "if he wants to eat, cool".

if you're gonna get a tank at tax time, and you dont mind spending just a little bit more, get a 220 or up. same footprint but more water. just a suggestion
