Arowana in a healthy state can survive for 2-3 months without eating, while some with better physique may persist for a longer time. Arowana's ability to endure hunger is still relatively strong, but if they don't eat because of illness or other reasons, they can only last for 1-2 weeks in general. When they are raised in captivity, if they are found not to eat, they need immediate treatment to avoid death.
How long can Arowana live without eating and how to feed it well 1. How long can Arowana live without eating

Under normal feeding, Arowana can persist in not eating for 2-3 months, because their ability to endure hunger is still relatively strong, and healthy Arowana generally does not have much problem without feeding for about 2 months. But if they don't eat because of illness, shock or other reasons, they can only survive for 1-2 weeks. Because the physique of Arowana will decline after illness, it can't last for too long. If you raise Arowana artificially, it is best to feed them regularly and quantitatively. If you don't eat now, you need immediate treatment.

2. How to feed Arowana

1. Food: Arowana is a carnivorous fish. When they are in the wild, they like to eat some live bait such as small fish and shrimp. When they are raised artificially, they can choose to feed them some bumper shrimp and small goldfish. You can also feed some live bait of insects, such as cockroaches and grasshoppers. You can also feed some red worms, barley worms, centipedes, etc.

2. Feeding amount: The feeding amount of Arowana is different at different stages. In their infancy, breeders feed them in small quantities and many times. Feed it twice a day, and each time it is 80% full. When they become adults, they don't need to be fed every day. It can be fed once every 1-2 days or 2-3 days, and it is best to feed 70% full every time.
