Sometimes Silver Arowana will go through spells of not eating especially larger ones. I wouldn't stop offering those foods but just not feed for a couple of days. Eventually the Silver Arowana will get hungry and start eating again. I always feed my larger fish every other day and sometimes they will refuse to eat.

My Jardini is 14" he's gone 5 days without eating and some days he eats like a mouse and other days he eats a mouse and more. I do like Tlindsey dos.
He looks nice and healthy.?

Normal. He will eat again.

As the other posters have been saying, this is relatively normal for larger aros. The longest my asian aro stopped eating for was almost 3 weeks. In the beginning it can make you worry, but now I let him tell me when he wants food, and I just go with that. Sometimes its everyday, as much as he can, other times its twice a week. Just watch his behavior when you walk up the tank or feed other fish.
