What do you feed your Arapaimas with?

I have one that is getting fat with feeders. I will wait a little longer before I take it out of feeders. Feeders, being roseys aka fatheads. Sometimes he can gulp down a medium goldfish. I want to make sure before I wean it out of live food that it could live for weeks without eating. As for the pima that is not eating, try raising the temp of yuour tank to 82 to 86, change water, and it should be OK in two to three days.
hang in there fishyboi,,, follow vinces suggestion and try to relax it as much as you can..
it will eat soon. They dont hit monstrous sizes by eating like birds.

He started eating pellets immediately by following the leichardti (RIP) that was trained onto pellets (sticks) the year before.
The leichardti's training went...live minnows always fed at the same tank corner. Once the aro was conditioned to rush to the corner when he saw me, I started dropping crickets at that corner after a minnow. A week of steady crickets went by then, I started dropping sticks with the crickets. The ratio of crickets to sticks changed at each feeding, with more sticks and less crickets, until he was snapping at every stick hitting the water. I simply lucked out that the pima wanted whatever the aro was snapping at.
Thanks, hes in with my dat rite now in a 125 gal, gonna raise the temp and do water changes
