Default Arowana Diet

Can share here what you guys feed your aro?

I had recently adopted a beauty and he's been eating very very well

Current diet :
Frozen bloodworm (Hurrah! Finally a fish tat appreciates it)
Frozen MP (loves it loves it loves it)
Pellets (previous diet)

No Kamikaze flying in recently so no way to test if fish likes roach.

My uncle is having problem wif his red thou..
initially feed superworms.. den dun wan jiak
Den feel feeder fish... den dun wan jiak
FINALLY now on frog... till the pampered one dun wan jiak again i guess...
Maybe i shd just go kapok all his superworm.. dun waste.

How do you like stuff MP with pellets sia

The hub was like - Let's Go Buy them some GS!!! over the weekend

And I was like - Ehh... NO. Here i have one tat eats everything the rest of the fishes dun eat... helping me to clear out the freezer... and there you are trying to spoil the fish!!

Later like my uncle one... reject all other food after having a taste of the good life...

is it possible for a fish to eat so much that it dies from bloat? recently i had 1 fish that was not doing so well in comm so i moved over to a FGT alone in which he strived, he would eat so much that i would get abit worried how can a fish eat so much, i was initially very happy that he was eating like that so i continued to feed and he really put on alot of size, After some time i decided it is time to control the feeding and so the bugger did really well.. finally he was bigger and stronger and so i reintroduced back to the comm, similar thing happened, he stopped eating for days. when i tried to catch out, he swam downwards against the net really hard and i just pulled him out with a good fight.. brought him back to separation in which his mouth area was injured. i just left him, changed water and maintained top parameters, it was only within 5 days that he started feeding again. however few days later he stopped eating and started parking against the tank wall. i realized he look-ed somewhat bloated and just continue to change water. few days later he just passed on...i was quite shocked..
