charles-n-charge;4754372; said:I was asking because the smaller they are the shyer and more hesitant they are. It also depends on the fish, for mine it took about 4 days to eat and I had to start it out on live feeders. Slowly it began to eat pellets and other foods. It can take up to 2-3 weeks for some aros though. Tankmates can also cause issues but he said they didn't. And tanksize, I just wanted to know lol I'm nosey about some things.
But it all sounds good, do you have plans for when it outgrows your current tank? (nosey)
And try also feeding it mealworms, earthworms, and grubs. High in protien and are pretty fattening. Good for young and mid-aged aros
This statement is based on your limited experience with small arowana. I had 2" baby black aros eating frozen bloodworms within an hour of being introduced to the tank. While a 11" black aro took nearly 4 weeks to eat on a regular basis. Along with a 21" silver tanking 3 weeks. So size has very little to do with it in my experience.
