my silver arowana just lost it's egg sac. I have fed it tropical granules and he is eating it but won't look at feeder guppies. if i killed the guppies and they floated to the top he would eat them. are granules okay? Should i feed him something else. should he be eating live guppies
 
he shouldnt be eating live feeders,feed it bloodworms,as it gets bigger feed it krills,pellets,meal/super worm,earth worm,market prawns
 
Freeze dryed blood worms are the best food for your arowana. You can also mix in a good quality flake food. In ablout a month at 3 " you can start feeding freeze dryed krill/shrimp, just make sure they are soft some brands are harder then others. You may have sucess with some frozen foods, I don't like them because they sink and some ends up uneaten.

You can also feed baby/pinhead crickets, your aro will become addicted to them so limit to once or twice a week. At 4" start adding broken up pellets during feedings, by 5" your aros mouth will be strong enough for pellets.
