Water parameters, tank mates, hiding places, diet?

May be this not right but I never checked water parameters.

Tank Mates: Arowana, Pbass, another NTT, Senegals, eel.

Hiding places: Yes I wouldn't say alot but moderate.

Diet: shrimp & chicken heart.

chicken heart.

Do you imagine that chicken heart may be the natural diet of a fish?

May be this not right but I never checked water parameters.

I will check the water parameters.

But chicken heart I didn't think of it that way and I understand that it's not a natural diet. Where I'm from I have seen quite a few fish hobbyist do that. Maybe that's not right I'll change it. Thank you for your insight.
