Food for Arowana
-Wondering what food did the Arowana eat ? The Arowana normally prefer live food like insects , small fish , frogs , worms and even live birds in the wild . ^_^: But it can be trained to take prepared or frozen food like frozen shrimps or pellets . I usually feed my Pearl Arowana with small frogs , prawns , feeder fish and sometimes goldfish . Now my pearl Arowana is about 10 inches , I start feeding it with crickets and even grasshoppers . It eat about 10 crickets or grasshoppers each time .
- Crickets - are good for your Arowana , it will enhance its color and simulate growth . Most Arowana love crickets , so u can feed it with lots of cricket . But one bad point is that the Arowana might reject other food .
-Grasshoppers - some Arowana would eat grasshoppers but I am not sure if it does any good to the Arowana . Feeding of grasshoppers will most likely to dirty the water because of the leftover wings and legs .
-Shrimp - shrimp is good for your Arowana as it contains very good protein , simulate growth and enhance its color ( red ) . When feeding the shrimp to a young Arowana , you need to remove the head and tail as it might hurt its small stomach . You can feed the whole shrimp as the Arowana gets bigger .
-Beefheart - feeding beefheart to the Arowana will ensure that it grow faster and bigger . Fats content must be removed or it will dirty and make the water oily . You can also feed it with chickenheart which is lower in fats content .
-Mealworms - you can feed the Arowana with mealworms or even centipede . Mealworms are cheap and you can get it easily from pet shop .
-Pellets - some Arowana will eat pellets but you need to train it . Pellets contain lots of vitamins and nutritious ingredients which will make sure that the Arowana have a balanced diet . Some pellets contained color-enhancing ingredients , it will enhance gold and red color
-Frogs - are the favourite food for Arowana . My Arowana can eat up to 10 frogs in one day .
