Silver arowana need to be fed every day. They do have hunger tolerance, but feeding them regularly and quantitatively can promote their growth and development. Their feeding frequency is also different at different stages. The feeding frequency of silver arowana in infancy needs to be higher, and it can be fed 2-3 times a day, and each time it is 80% full. Because they have a high demand for food and nutrients in their infancy, it is best for breeders to follow the feeding method of small amount and multiple times. This can not only ensure their adequate food, but also promote their absorption of nutrients.

When they are adults, they can be fed 1-2 times a day instead, and it is best to feed them 70% full each time. Because they will need less food as adults, they can be fed less frequently. Although the frequency of feeding can be reduced, the amount of feeding needs to be relatively increased to ensure that they can grow normally.

Arowana likes animal feed. When artificially cultured, it can feed them more small fish, shrimp, loach, red worm, bread worm, lean meat, animal viscera, etc. These foods are rich in nutrients, which can provide more nutrition for their growth and development. Breeders can usually use animal feed as staple food, and then match some plant feed to ensure their balanced nutrition.

When they are adults, they can be fed some synthetic feed. Because synthetic feed is easy to preserve and not easy to pollute water quality, it is very suitable for feeding adult Arowana.
