I recently bought some fish including a silver arowana (and an Oscar and clown knifefish) and I have found out what to feed the other fish but I haven't got my arowana to eat. I know they feed on the water surface and I am going to get some crickets to feed him on Friday. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to feed him until then or any other ideas for food?
What do I feed my 5" Arowana?

Welcome aboard
Floating food sticks my personal choice is Hikari brand. Also freeze dried krill may be offered.
When really young they can be a pain to get off from live crickets IME. Another thing to consider is your oscars growth rate if they are similar size and housed together. Theres a good chance the oscar with grow faster, to the point that he could see your aro as a snack at some point. Just something to be aware of.
My aro is about twice as big at my Oscar but thanks for the heads up
I also recommend getting him on a quality pellet. Train him while he's young and you won't regret it. I have a Jardini that I only fed crickets and worms when he was young. Now, he's about 12-13" and he refuses to eat pellets and I've tried everything. It's a pain in the ass to deal with
I have tried crickets now but he still won't eat them. I have seen him eat them at the fish store I got him from but he still won't eat rhen
