Silver Arowana help!!!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
what is ur ph lvl? what is your wc?
Post up some pictures for me please.
lol arowana is very picky with food. starve ur arowana for 1 or 2 days than feed it pellets it will start to eat. Have u tried dry shrimp?
 
My water has a high ph 7-7.5...but I checked the water the Aro was shipped in and it was the same. I'm keeping the tank temp between 77-80 degrees and the water appears clear to me.
I haven't tried shrimp yet..all I have at the moment is bloodworms-frozen+FD,cichlid pellets+flakes,koi pellets, feeder comets+guppies and night crawlers. All I've tried to feed the aro are the bw and a couple of pellets(not interested in pellets).
Thanks for your help--please keep it coming--I'll try to post pics tomorrow.
much appreciated,
chris
 
Thanks for the good advice. I did about a 30% change this morning. I added prime to the bucket as directed+a little bit of aquarium salt. About an hour after the change I put 2 small crickets in and he greedily ate them. He's still swimming at the top actively(scanning the top for more I presume..lol). I think he'll be alright(I hope). If he's stressed he wouldn't eat would he? He seems to have a lot of jaw movement--like he's muttering to himself. Is this normal? I assume that he's just choking down his food(pardon the expression-I know he's not choking).
Thanks again,
Chris
 
you can do WC every weekend. as for feeding just get him steadily eating bloodworms before you try to switch up the diet.
