African Arowana. Availability?

You don't need daphnia... Blood worm, frozen or live brine shrimp or crushed pellets work well

 

@mark stotesbury Thank you for the invaluable information. I can cross that one off the list then, realistically not for me!

 

@Hendre I've stopped feeding ftozen bloodworm altogether now, it's full of nasty bacteria! Thank you very much for your input, but after making my conclusions, I feel it would be somewhat unfair and must rather now mainly just concentrate on my Tropheus. I am now no longer going to replace any of my south American species. Any new purchases will be only african cichlids.

 

@MariaS @SalmonAfrica says so, I have no idea, only fishing for info

 

I used to import them many years ago trust me live food for the first year, you lucky if you get a baby eating non moving food also i dont believe in starving the fish till it eats dead food feed pellets once they older esp the larger trout pallets .

 

Many people have had success without live food

 

Thank you @Hendre now we know more! It's not a fish for me, but facinating research! Thanks again for the info!

 

They also dont tell you the percentage of death to success rate either .One of the fish exporter has stopped supplying young fish to the ÙSA market due to the high mortality rate of babies he was saying 1 in 60 lived .Stunning fish though .
