[ara35]

please just give me any information you can cause i will be purchasing this fish soon. when to feed, what to feed them, how often... anything!!! thanks

 

[k.o.d]

They are am arowana for the smaller tank
Highly predatory, dont put guppies and other small fish in there and think they will be OK
Feed on mealwoms, microcrickets and floating carnivore sticks, they have a larger mouth than you think.

The feeding regime you will work out for yourself, but I would feed small amounts often rather than trying to overload them with food at any one time.

Dont have a massive torrent of water flow at the surface of the tank, but the tank does need to be well filtered, pH on the high side of 7 and relatively hard
