What to feed arowana????

[Afshinak]

Hello,

I have a big problem with my arowana. He refuses to eat palletes. I have not tried keeping him hungry so he would get to the point of eating paletes. He eats them then spits them out. I have few small bucktooth tetras in the tank so in scared if I don't feed him he will try to eat them. He loves crickets but I don't wanna feed him crickets want something easier. So please let me know what to do.

Thank you

First remove the tetras from the tank. Then only offer pellets for him to eat. If it is already grabbing them with his mouth, he'll soon be eating the pellets.

remove the tetras i agree. aros will eat almost anything when hungry enough, ime

remove tetras and also, maybe starve for a day or two then feed again..

Nightcrawlersare a great food choice for a varied diet. But not as a staple, should get it eating pellets first and then expand the diet.

I can't remove the tetras cuz I dot have a place for them. Would it have something to do with the pallets I give them ?now I have cichlid gold should I use something different ?
