Silver aro stopped eating?

[n4red]

Hey guys , my silver arow just killed my other one .. as u might know anyway he stopped eating like 2 days ago is there anything i should think about that makes aros less hungry? usally i feed him with pellets and now i tried shrimp .
i cant afford to loose another aro so i need some help!

Try crickets, theyre rarely ever ignored. Add salt too, it calms aros down and might heal whatever is preventing him from healing. Even if nothings wrong, a bit of salt never hurts.

Yeah i might try the salt , crickets the bugs? could go check my local zoo shops tho and see if i can get anything from it . he eat like 2 days ago so for now i guess hes fine , it could be that since the other silver died he doesnt feel as much need / compition to eat? Anyway il check it out becasue this arows fins are still kinda hurt from the other one attackin him too.

yea crickets and earth worms

If its fins are hurt, you'll definitely want to add some salt. Sometimes, injuries can be a cause of loss of apetite.

Just noticed the back fin of my arow is gone ... just like my other one was i think its the Walking catfish thats eating / nipping it. i really fee like throw him out the window but i just dont g ot the heart for it

u mean its caudal fin is gone? bro add salt, feed it frozen bloodworms, up temperature to 86 F, add melafix, divide that catfish

 

[sodenoshirayuki]

Why would you feed it frozen bloodworms. Its not really something they will go crazy for. And plus frozen food for sick aros is not a good thing, unless its completely thawed.

 

[Arowana King]

bro, it has loads of protein, anyways crickets have no value and come on this is a silver arowana, give it some day and it will eat anything

Try melafix to heal in addition to aquarium salt
earth worms are a healthy addition to pellets I suggest New life spectrum along with the occasional treat of earth worms and or large crickets
