What do AfricanAros eat?

[channarox]

they are hard to take care of at a small size.
they need to eat a few times a day when young and eat small foods like bloodworms.

not seen him take anything larger yet

wait

i think as they grow they do more and more gravel sifting......its great for keeping the substrate clean....they take a mouthful of gravel swim up and redistribute it by dropping it on their friends heads

you can see them on the tankcam

Mine eats mostly different kinds of pellets and food sticks. He will also eat small pieces of MP and food he sifts through the sand.

Do you have any experience keeping fish? Have you kept arowanas before? Maybe we can help you so they dont keep dying.

 

[glyde]

yeah i agree, if your new to fish do some research before hand, keeping aros are a little more than beginners fish.

Yes I do... I have raised a Silver that grew to about 22 inches but jumped out the tank and I have Jardini which is in a growout 55 gal and I raise prawns/crayfish,guppies,angel fish,cichlids,and tried goldfish but didnt work out. have a trutle pond, koi Pond. I just picked up the African Aro because I thought he was like all Aros but that s i mistake i made and will never happen again .
