Silver Aro not eating

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
or feed mealworms, its actually not a bad option unless u have a huge asian com to support then it gets bit expensive but to feed one fish on mw is not that pricey.... just slightly annoying, u will be able to convert it back just take a lot of patience!
 
Lol I just called and they said that since they came in last week they had never fed them wow. But she told me FD'd Krill is the best which is what I have right now and tried to feed him yesterday which he did not eat, And she said to feed them every three days. Is that correct?
 
At this stage i would throw in a few healthy baby guppies... he needs something to eat when he is this young..once you settle him in then try all the other foods you have talked about.. but i like to see them get a little bigger and healthier before they fast like this.. so one more try with the frozen blood worms..{frozen because they are more life like.} shoot with eye dropper in his face...} but then go get the baby guppies if it doesn't work..because you do not want to mess around at 3.5 inches.. thats a little baby... Also make sure you seal up the top.. even the tiniest opening can be a pass for the arowana to end up on the floor.. they are jumpers..

I put tin foil over every nook and cranny on the tank, I know how they love to jump!

feeding earthworms is a good idea..they are nutritious... but the ones you raise yourself or buy that are clean only..the ones in the yard run a high risk of being contaminated with herbisides, pesticides.. and bacteria etc.,.
 
could try dried worms you put in bird feeders, they float most the time and generally are smaller bits too so good for small aros, dried mealworms are ideal but only us these to get him feeding as i seriously doubt the nutritional value of dryed worms...
