Arowana diet:

Feeding your arowana a good variety of foods is key to a healthy diet. In the wild, arowana diet consists of insects, fish, shrimp, small amphibians and lizards. The following is good for all types of arowana:

Baby arowana (2"-10") - 3x per day. The hardest size to feed a variety since most small arowana are fed feeder guppies or other small live fish before ending up in your aquarium. Feeder fish are usually kept in deplorable conditions which run rampant with disease and are not recommended for any small predator. If you can breed your own, fine. If not, I suggest bloodworms, blackworms, small crickets, mealworms, krill, and a quality pellet which is proper size for the aro to eat. Some arowana won't accept pellets right away, but live foods are rarely turned down. Getting your arowana on a quality pellet is great, but not all will accept them. Make sure to get rid of any uneaten food from your aquarium promptly.

Juvenile arowana (10"-18") - 2x per day. You should have a good feeding regimen going by now, but some of the above foods will be too small to fill up a larger juvie. Now you can introduce cut up raw shimp, prawn, superworms, earthworms, and cut fish fillet. Avoid any red fillets like trout/salmon because they are very oily and will leave an oilslick ontop of your water cutting down on oxygenation. If your arowana still refuses pellets, you can stuff some inside some chunks of shrimp or fillets.

Larger arowana (18"+) - once a day, once every other day for larger adults. Same foods as juvies but now you can introduce whole shrimp/prawn (shelled, tail removed), smelt/silversides, oysters/mussels, small frogs, and small lizards.

***Keep in mind to make sure foods are sized so they are easy to swallow. Some chopping will be required to make foods bite-sized. All foods should be fed raw. Your arowana will let you know what it likes, but it's always good to introduce new foods. Once again, be sure to remove any uneaten foods immediately.

While all of the above foods applies to all types of arowana (except african aros), there are differences between the species.
