Hello all,
I recently purchased a silver arowana. The pet store i bought it from said they were feeding them frozen bloodworms. My arowana is currently 4 inches, but a very picky eater (what arowana isnt, right?). I didnt know aro's were so picky even when young. Anyway, i bought Hikari sticks and i know its probably the healthiest food because it has all the proper nutrients for a well balanced diet. My aro will NOT eat the sticks. I even tried the 24 hour starving method, but its still very stubborn (only eating 1/3 of the stick, I break it up). Bottom line, i gave up and went back to the bloodworms, which it absolutely loves. I understand the bloodworms arent exactly protein rich, so i was wondering if there is an alternative to the food sticks that provides proper protein and nutrients, as well as more favorable. Thanks for the help!
