Newbie need advice on RTG

[Micheallow34]

For me I will try put some feeder fish in the tank cos smaller fish will make the aro more stable and lights on 24/7 is better when haven new fish in the tank .

Hikari arowana/carnivore Pellets should b a reliable brand, and amazingly I e ever heard of good natural color enhancement if u can get the aro to main on Tetrabits~

And i forgot to mention, very beautiful RTG with excellent form! Do keep us updated when able, thanks for sharing : )

Wa, I used to feed my old aro with SW and I love how it's colour turn out.
Ok, I'll try and see if he is willing to take pellets or not, (:
Thanks!! I hope he'll start eating soon and get used to the tank soon!!

I tried that last night, he tried to bite some of the small fish, but seem very unwillingly, and only ate like 2 out of all, the rest then made their way to the sump tank, haha.

Lower for how long? Cause then my sump won't be able to function, is that alright? Will do that if 20%WC doesn't help.

It's swimming posture is really weird, and it doesn't eat, and is not afraid of anything. I put my face right in front of him, he also don't give a damn. Not used to the tank yet?

for me... i will lower down the water level to 50% till he grow 10" or more... I find it hard for the juv aro to swim...

meanwhile give him more time to adapt to the new environment...

and....... i would encourage u to feed him with mp now... so next time u won't have any headache train him... meanwhile since he doesnt want to eat... dun feed for 3days and u monitor him...

For me to calm aro in new tanks, KP leaves might helps. For small aros, i think water level should be low and adjust according as it grows.

Probably due to stress. Any idea why the water surface so many bubble?
