    You feed them when they are worms, or when they are big enough to feed to your fish whatever you prefer.

    no i'm sure both can be fed to the fish,its just the nutritional value is different from one stage to another is what i think is being said.

    Hey Oscar Freak

    I'm absolutely jealous of your arowana, he's looking absolutely stunning. :) Besides silk worms and the moths, look around for some sea foods as well. Anything from fish to squid to prawns to mussel will all be greatly appreciated by your arowana - just be sure to defrost and rinse them properly before each serving :)

    At my LFS we fed the most recent arowana silk worms, and he definitely loved them. Have you tried just feeding the worms or are you going for a moths-only diet?

    Enjoy
