My jard is about 13" i have had since he was about 9" recentley he has stopped eating he will still attack the food but won't eat it i have tryed shrimps, silver sides, pellets even bits of meat an he wont eat any ideas. Fort id through a pic in.
 
sometimes my jar doesn't eat for like a day or two. how long has it been since you have fed him/her last?
 
Im trying him every day but he would rather try and eat some of his tank mates. What do you feed yours. cheers
 
How long your Arowana is not eating ?
 
Im not sure i would say about a week and a half it looks like he just doesnt like the taste of it anymore.
 
Do you have other fishes in tank, what kind ? Did you test water parameters ? Did you change anything in your tank ?
 
I know aros tend to go nuts for crickets, you could try those.
 
I have a bichir and a few small sa cichlids and a pleco water paras all good an ye he does like a cricket but only 1 or 2.
 
try earthworms and bump the temp to 84~86
