Question 1

Why is a floating stick format important for Arowana?

Accepted Answer

Arowana are obligate surface predators — in the wild they hunt insects, small animals and prey from the water surface and from tree branches overhanging the water. Their eyes are positioned and angled to look upward, and their jaw is structured to strike prey from below at the surface. They do not naturally hunt bottom or mid-water food. Feeding an Arowana with sinking food forces it to hunt in an unnatural way, often resulting in poor food acceptance and wasted food that decays on the tank substrate. Royal Arowana's large floating stick format sits at the surface, triggering the fish's natural surface-strike feeding instinct for immediate acceptance and zero wasted food.

Question 2

How long will one 100g pack last for my Arowana?

Accepted Answer

Duration depends on the size and age of your Arowana. At 3–6 sticks twice daily: for a juvenile Silver Arowana under 40cm, one 100g pack lasts approximately 6–8 weeks. For an adult Silver Arowana 50–70cm fed at the larger serving, approximately 4–5 weeks. The 3-pack Popular at Rs 549 provides approximately 3–4 months of supply for a single adult Arowana — the most practical regular purchase for most Arowana keepers. The 5-pack Best Value at Rs 899 is the right format for dedicated keepers who want the most economical ongoing supply.

Question 3

How do I transition my Arowana from live food to Royal Arowana dry food?

Accepted Answer

The most reliable transition protocol: Fast the Arowana for 2–3 days with no food offered — hunger significantly increases willingness to try new food formats. On day 4, offer 2–3 Royal Arowana sticks at the usual feeding position alongside the usual live feeder. Most Arowana will begin investigating the sticks within 5–7 days. Gradually reduce live feeder quantity over 2 weeks while increasing stick quantity. By day 14–21, most Arowana accept Royal Arowana sticks as their primary food. Dry food is safer than live feeder fish — it eliminates the parasite and disease introduction risk that feeder fish carry.

Question 4

Is Royal Arowana suitable for Red Arowana?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Royal Arowana is suitable for Red Arowana (Scleropages legendrei) including Chili Red, Blood Red and Super Red varieties. Red Arowana have the highest colour maintenance requirements of any commonly kept Arowana species — the intense red colouration that defines premium specimens is entirely dietary, requiring consistent carotenoid and astaxanthin intake. Royal Arowana's colour-enhancing pigment complex supports red colouration maintenance. For maximum colour intensity in Red Arowana, supplement Royal Arowana sticks with occasional live feeder shrimp which provide natural astaxanthin. The combination of dry food colour pigments and live shrimp natural astaxanthin produces the most vivid sustainable red colouration.

Question 5

What tank size is needed for an adult Arowana?

Accepted Answer

This is outside the scope of the food product but important context for any Arowana keeper: adult Silver Arowana reach 70–90cm body length and require a minimum 500–700 litre aquarium with at least 180cm length and a secure lid — Arowana are exceptional jumpers. Golden Arowana are slightly smaller at 50–60cm and require 300–400 litres minimum. Red Arowana at 50–60cm similarly require 300–400 litres. Royal Arowana food is appropriate for all of these sizes across their full lifespan. For tank setup, filtration and equipment questions, consult your local aquarium specialist.

Question 6

Can I feed Royal Arowana sticks to my Oscar?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Royal Arowana sticks work well for large Oscars. Oscars are large carnivorous cichlids with protein requirements similar to Arowana, and they readily accept floating stick formats. The high fish and shrimp meal protein supports the Oscar's growth and colouration, and the colour pigment inclusion benefits Oscar's orange-red body colour. Many aquarists keep Oscars in Arowana companion tanks — Royal Arowana food serves both species simultaneously from one food. For Oscar-only setups, Microworms.in also stocks Optimum Fish Feed floating pellets which are equally appropriate at a lower price point.

Question 7

How do I remove uneaten sticks after feeding?

Accepted Answer

Use a standard aquarium net to remove floating sticks that remain at the surface after the 3–5 minute feeding window. Royal Arowana sticks hold their form when floating — they do not dissolve into the water rapidly like flakes — so they remain easy to net off the surface. Remove all uneaten sticks after every feeding without exception. Floating stick food that is left in the tank beyond the feeding window will eventually waterlog and sink, decomposing on the substrate and contributing to ammonia buildup. This is particularly important in Arowana tanks where large carnivorous fish produce high waste loads even without uneaten food.

Question 8

What is the ideal feeding frequency for Arowana?

Accepted Answer

For adult Arowana over 40cm body length: feed twice daily at consistent times. The morning and evening feeding schedule is most common and aligns well with Arowana's natural active periods. Include one complete fasting day per week — Arowana digest food slowly as large carnivores and benefit from the digestive rest. For juvenile Arowana under 40cm: feed 3 times daily at smaller portions to support the rapid growth of the juvenile phase. Juvenile Arowana can grow 2–3cm per month with correct high-protein nutrition and adequate tank space — Royal Arowana's protein content is appropriate for both growth phases.
