[ilovearowanas]

i had my jardini for about a year and a half.
its about a foot long, but its height isn't that great.
i want to grow its height alot more, what is best to feed him?

i feed my arowana whitebait, market prawns and pellets.
i moved this to the aro section for you.

HI!,
I usually feed my older arows fresh market shrimp too it works well, I also feed smelts and every so often i will feed it fresh squid.

^^ I agree! Krill's good for color too.

hi
thanks for the advice.
how big are your arows?

krill?
yeah i heard alot about feeding them krill,
i heard its hard to train them to eat krill is that right?

not realli, they are more willin to take krills over pellets, so if they're ok w/pellets, they're pretty much ok w/anything else. the best food is frogs. live frogs. u'll go broke be4 ur aro becomes mature, but that's how they do it in asia for the growth rate and coloration.
here's a pic i took in a random lfs in china (warning, not a pretty sight)
