so i feed mp to pump first, after i get the size then change back to pellet? or? any suggestion?

If ur aro take mp...stay with it unless you want variety for the aro.

Personally, pellets are convenient but I never feed my past aros with pellets...
I always pump it with mp, worm and raw meat

Feeding choice is up to your own to choose either 100% pellets or mp and feeding can feed 1 time per day for this size.

sorry BRos,

one more question,

tank 4 x 2.5 x 2.5. as for OHF, what is recommend pump should i use? i find that my existing pump is weak.

should i add in air pump? is there a need?

my canister got 3 trays, 1 tray was full of wool (3 layers), should i reduce to 1 layer of wool and add in more bio home? - currently having 2 kg or bio home plus

[jtanjq]

finally, he had the pellet this morning.

will update again.

I feed them with raw pork or chicken...without the fatty portion.
Just treats and not everyday

Brother I also just got my first arowana almost a year ago, and also have no friends who are into arowana. Just one humble advise is if u still have not got any test kits do get a liquid based ph test kit. It really does help.
