Sharing my experience on the topic.
1) Regular water change regime 2 - 3 times a week 2) Submerged tanning light created warm water enviroment - increase metabolic rate 3) Constant regular feeding at schedule time 4) Adequate portion size feed 5) Choice of feed 6) Boost with Vit twice a week. 7) Comm environment stimulate competition for food. |

1 day's fasting... detox programme huh? Good idea..
Even for aros that eat... some have 'bad habits'.. some chew& chew & chew before finally gulping down & cause water conditions to deteriorate faster... some place their food in the mouth & spit out... if they feel like really eating; will gulp it down after few times... but others will just make owner frustrated & leave the food uneaten... sunk to the bottom of the tank... we gotta clear these out of the tank, if not water quailty will be affected. tankmates also play a part.. notice whenever i encounter an aro who skips 2-3meals consecutively; i will throw in a Red-Tail Catfish... within 48-72hrs after that... the aro will actively try to grab any food thrown-in, before the catfish has a chance to swim up to the surface... i believe their natural instincts tell them that 'if the catfish grabs it; it will outgrow me in no time' |
