Post your Arowanas Large and Small, I'll start.

This is my baby Aro, between 12 and 15cm long, had him/her almost 2 months, he/she was about 8 cm when i got him/her, he/she eats crickets and bloodworms and lots of them. Heis currently living in the sump of my 2.5m tank till he is big enough to get on with my other fish. http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr5/sailing_derrick/fishwithlights2053.jpg

You better start warning the neighbour's kids. When he grows up eventually, he might eat them.

I gave them the red fish at will, it hunting when he is hungry now crickets are insects rich in protein and 5 crickets seems to me.
Vary their diet more often, crickets and live fish and also shrimp.
