Silver arowana can be fed with some small fry with a body length of 2-3 cm in the juvenile period, as well as some shell-shedding mealworms, shrimp and other foods. This period can be fed several times, 4-5 times a day. If they grow to more than 15 centimeters, they can feed some small river shrimps or slightly larger fry. When it grows to more than 20 centimeters, it can feed some larger fish or cut loaches. At this time, it can be fed 2-3 times a day.
What does the silver arowana feed? How many times a day?

1. what kind

of food to feed silver arowana should be decided according to their different growth stages. If the body length is less than 15 centimeters, you can feed about 2-3 centimeters of small fry, because at this time they have a relatively large demand for food, so it is best to feed 4-5 times a day. If the body length is 15-20 cm, you can feed some small river shrimps, small fry, red worms, mealworms, etc. These live baits are very popular with them. If the body length is more than 20 centimeters, you can feed a bigger fry or loach, but the loach should be cut off before feeding.

2. the silver arowana is fed several times

a day. The silver arowana can be fed 4-5 times below 15 centimeters, because this period is the most critical period for their growth and development, so the demand for food is high, and the breeder can feed it to 70% full each time. If the body length is 15-20 cm, it can be fed three times a day, and it can be fed regularly according to the time of breakfast, lunch and dinner, so as to develop a good eating habit for silver arowana. If they are more than 20 centimeters long, they can be fed twice a day. At this time, they don't need to be fed too much, because too much feeding will make them fat and lose their ornamental value.

3. the amount of silver arowana fed at a time is appropriate

. The digestive ability of silver arowana is not strong, so it is better to control the feeding at 7-8% full each time. The breeder can feed first, and then reduce 20-30% according to the amount of feeding. When the arowana grows up, the amount of food they feed will be even less, because they have stopped growing, so the demand for food is not high. If the amount of food is increased, the body of the arowana will be bloated and lose its ornamental value.
