i appreciate your point but that spider was consumed well before he had the chance to inject any venom into my arowana. also, the spider was out of it's element and desperately trying to not drown.

this thread has diverted to some other topic rather than the op. we are talking about feeding spiders here. no need to argue guys. phillydog 1958 your aro is doing well now and thats more important. anyways he never asked any of us if he did the right thing or not. he just informed us that he gave his aro a spider treat. so lets not argue on this anymore.
the only reason i persude it was cause everyone was telling the op that it was a huge mistake and to never do it again...i know the op never asked if it was ok everyone feeds there fish what they want...

LOL if you found your aro reaction to live food interesting you would do it another time ^^
Just feed it some livebearers or frogs occasionally to "curb" your bloodlust.
Personally I am a feeder based fishowner, and I can guarantee you aro will be sho big after eating FARM BRED frogs ^^
PS: Dont go frog hunting own your own =D
well, here in s'pore, some ppl feed their aros farm bred centipedes (which look real poisonous to me) as treats. not many tho, cos its really expensive for food. but the venom does nothing to the aros, so i would think spiders are abt the same. the pesticide issue is totally different tho.
