Question
hello i have a 5 inched arowana and im quite worried cause its not really eating anything but freeze dried blood worms, it has tried eating krill and pellets but it spits it out after trying to swallow it. I was about to try feeding it crickets or mealworms. im jus asking what's wrong with him or what kind of food i should feed him.

Answer
As babies Arowanas should be fed live and frozen brine shrimp, black worms, blood worms, and small fish. They like live food. Insects work great too! Also, Make sure you have room for a fish like this, if you dont already know. The arowana fish grows to be 32+ inches long.

Good luck
Andy
