So I bought and Arowana yesterday, on sale at Petco for 14.00$. It was a bad impulse purchase but I just couldn't resist.

Anyway, what the hell do I feed it? It's been eating rosy-red minnows and meal worms (really soft ones that just shed).
 
shrimp, live, beef heart, turkey dogs, anything really..

arowanas eat everything.
 
GET IT ON KRILL AS SOON AS U CAN
 
Matter of preference like cockbass said. I use krill e for coloration and cut
up shrimp. Bulk up like crazy if you use those. I dont feed pellets anymore. .
cant compare pellets to shrimp and krill.
 
I see healthier fish when I feed live foods.

Agreed. Cant be bothered with live foods since all we have here in the us is dirty, parasite infested goldfish and minnows. Dont want crickets because theyre noisy and you have to take the legs out or youll have cockroach looking legs floating in your tank.

Live tropical fish is actually the best diet for aros. Thats mostly what aros get fed with in asia and they grow more than an inch a month on that.
 
those singapore guys with their channa and poecellid feeders... it just makes me cry sometimes in jealousy
 
Its to bad Tree frog numbers are dwindling, they would be a perfect staple.
