Eating centipedes can help red arowana to develop color. As we all know, centipedes are toxic animals. The reason why eating centipedes can develop color is mainly because the toxicity of centipedes will accumulate in the body of this fish, and when the toxicity accumulates to a certain extent, it will promote the color development of red arowana. Although the toxicity of centipedes can help them develop color, they should be eliminated in time, otherwise, when there are too many toxins to be eliminated, it will easily lead to various arowana diseases. In addition, it is best for arowana in juvenile to feed high-protein substances, because high-protein foods can provide more nutrition.

For color enhancement foods, besides the toxicity of centipedes, they can also be fed shrimp foods, because shrimp contains astaxanthin, and the color development effect is also very good. Although centipedes and shrimps can be fed, they are both aimed at adult red arowana. If they are still growing seedlings, shrimps are not recommended to be fed, because shrimp shells are hard, which can easily hurt the stomach of seedlings. At present, there are many feeds for hair color in the market. When choosing feeds, we should look at the ingredients of feeds to see if they are suitable for red arowana.
