Hello mfk. I recently bought a silver arowana from gunpowderaquatics and he came in the mail on December 28th. I figure that he was just nervous the first few days but he still hasn't ate anything. I've tried massivore bloodworms brine shrimp hikari cichlid bio gold hikari food sticks and countless other things including beef heart and crickets. Idk what to feed him. The guy I bought him from said he fed the tank a pellet and bloodworms so idk why he isn't eating. Any help from other silver arowana owners would be great thanks.
 
Try live ghost shrimp and frozen cube blood work. That's Hosni got my silver arow to eat
 
Mine didn't eat, that I saw anyways, for several weeks! I just kept trying. Might be worth putting some feeders in the tank with him to munch on when he's finally hungry. That's how I did mine and he's tripled in size and eats everything! Flakes, pellets, fish, frozen, my fingers, etc! How large is your arowana?
 
Live feeders first (count them as they disappear) until your silver stabilizes then you can attempt to switch its diet.

Do post its update. :)
