Baby Arowana Food

[Fishboy1981]

Ok I got my new baby silver arowanas. Was recommended to get a few because all may not live. So i have 4 of these little guys. They are about 5 in long. Just was wondering on any feeding recommendations anyone out there has? I tried freeze dried blood worms cause they dont sink fast but I dont think they have much smell to entice these guys. I saw them take a couple bites at some frozen worms that dropped off the chunk as it melted but most of them are thawing and sinking rapidly to the bottom. Any suggestions?

You have four of them, wow. What size tank do you have them in? What are your plans if more than survive? You can try starving them for a few days then see if they take to food.

This is a 180g tank my 25in arowana died about a month ago for unknown reasons was really odd. If more than 1 lives I will take them back to the pet store. I know the owner really well we have a agreement.

5 inches? live brine shrimp?

A 180 for silvers isn't really big enough. As for 4 in one...

small mealworms,river shrimp,crickets,small earthworms are all favourites of small arowana

I think live crickets would be the best option.
