Default What is the diet of a 8 inches Aro?

Hi All,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question.

What is the diet of a 8 inches Aro?

My aro use to feed about 30 mealworms a day before it fell sick 2 weeks ago. Since recovery, it only eat 8 mealworms a day and only mealworms, for others i tried, eg feeder prawn, red fish, goldfish and superworm don't seems to be interested even if i starve it.

Any comments?

water parameters ..... not check yet, i suspect so! I'm currently in the progress of getting a canister filter from a bro here and is planning to get biohome and test kit from C328 once i get hold of the filter.

Last nite, after giving about 4 mealworms i tried giving a feeder gold fish. Wah lah....surprising my aro wacked it. Tried again this morning but doesn't seem interested.

I'm sure that my aro has recovered from scale rot and cloudy eye.

looks like i have got a lot to learn...........................

Be patient. Just maintain good water parameters & slowly increase the feed.
I learn a lot from Af too & still learning........

my aro took 1 feeder goldfish and 2 mealworms last nite. As for this morning only managed 2 mealworms. Looks like the feeding pattern is only at night?

One questions, i have no deco or tankmates in the tank, so is it all right that my aro is aggressive towards its image in reflection?
