Arowana won't eat

[Rghfor]

Got my new Asian Arowana last Friday . He hasn't eaten and dosent seem to acknowledge any type of food. Tried mealworms , prawns, hikari food sticks, sinking bio + gold, frozen

Water readings are Ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 20, ph 7.2-7,4( cannot tell). Water change day tomorrow

Any advise ?

Be patient Aro will eventually start eating probably still adjusting to its new environment.

That. Many fish like that don't open up immediately. Keep giving small offerings and he will eventually start to eat as he settles

grasshoppers works great for me to get them started eating

I'll keep trying

Hey there i know this is an old post but i bought s silver arowana and it was eating well in the 1st couple of days( i gave it frozen squid) but the two days after he stopped eating and starts running away from me when ever i try to feed the other fish

He wont eat and always bang his head on the corner of the tank, seems like he is streesed or something
