It's normal for a aro.They can survive till almost 2 months without eating sometin/food.Try to put some small fishes in the tank/aquarium!Aro will eat it when they feel hungry.If the fishes are missing,that means ur aro aet them :tounge_smile: .

2 weeks quite long.

try check the water parameter. and change the water 50% with aged water. do a weekly base water change.

try give other foods like cricket, sw or earth worm.

I also had been encounterd with the same problems as yours...... What that i do is firstly i do a WC about 70%. After that i put some Aquarium Salt & medication that improving arowana apetite (S1). It get better slowly but it's work... I done a research why this things happen:lightbulb: is cause of the food given was not been digest properly and need help to complete the cycle, that's why the aro don't want to eat cause there a lot of food is still having inside.

It's only my experience on facing it:teeth_smile:

Agreed, try other foods like 3 small fishes or small frogs and let them in the aqua or pond within 2 days.

bro, i dun recommend to do WC about 70%. most to most 50%, that the max. suggest do WC abt 20%, add stress coat and AV solution. check the water parameter.

but first thing i need to ask, u just moved the aro to a new tank?

Most likely is the water parameter, my first aro nvr eat for 1.5 months, in the end I sold it away. Try putting some tank mates, and dirrerent diet, like froggie, criket......

I think 70% is too much liao, IMHO, this might stress the aro, u can do it slowly, not one shot.

Agreed, 70% WC is too much, 50% max. is better and reduce risk.
