Just taken the plung and bought a 7 inch baby silver. He is residing in the the 125 gallon growing tank at the moment with some other baby monsters till they have grown on a bit and can be put in the big tank. I have never had an arowana before and was wondering if what i am feeding him is ok. His staple at the moment is cut up prawns. He will take blood worm but he isn't fast enough to get many as the baby tiger oscar takes care of them. He isn't intersted in floating pellets and they are gone sharpish too thanks to the baby clown knife. Any other suggestions would be good except feeders as i don't want to start them on them for many reasons. (including my wifes horror!). he does seem fine and is swimming happily and eats well, just want to know that he is getting everything he needs.
What to feed a young silver?

becareful of home earthworms ecspeccially if there has been some fertalizer or pesticide been used in the area. a mealworm is a crass between a crickett and a maggot. heres website with a pic http://www.easyinsects.co.uk/livefood/mealworm/images/giantmealworm.jpg
Yeah, make a good effort to get him on some type of floating pellet or food stick. Use everything else as a treat. Your arowana will thank you, and so will your wallet, lol.
I personally use Hikari Cichlid Gold and loved the results. Good Luck!
