Default Will It STarve?

Not very viable... An Arrowana will eat alot more of them then you can breed
and raise in any sort of home setup... If you have a spare tank to use as a
hospital tank, though w/ lotsof filtration, you could buy them bulk and
quarantine them w/ medications for a couple of weeks to make sure they are
disease free..

Yes. Sometimes the arrowana (which is about 5 inches) mouthes the krill

,
but that is about it. He won't touch anything else. I know that these

fish
could go a long time without fould but how long is long. I don't wanna

come
back a couple of months from now and find him or her dead because I

refused
to buy guppies and it refused to eat anything else. I hope that after a
while it will catch on and start eating and instead of cruising the tank
looking for small moving prey.


Why not breed your own feeder guppies? Much less risk of diseases because
you know the condition of the tank all the time, and the arrowana will be
happy...
