I have a silver arrowana and a clown knive purchased off steve on sunday. The arro already comes and up eats close to me and has a real personality. I fed him a cricket the other day and it was one of the best things i have ever seen.They have HUGE mouths. I have not seen the clown knive eat but i was told they are nocternal so i always put in a bit of food when the lights go out.
Is it ok to feed the arro insects?
This is a pic. One of steves catfish bit the clowns tail off :evil: , but it should grow back soon.
Cheers chris
And steve, yes im hooked

I hope you have a big tank for these guys as they can both reach 3'. Something atleast 8' long and 3'+ wide.
I have a Chitala lopis similar to your CK. Growing like a weed. I have found once knives settle into their environments which usually takes a bit longer then fish like aros they will feed during the day. My knife is a huge pig, will always come and greet me when he's hungry. When he has a full belly, he has the screw you apparoach, and just chills in his log!

If you getting a sufficiently large tank, you can't go past a TSN/RTC, great personalities on them, awesome looks and an appetite matched by few.

peckoltia, i would love to get a tsn but ive seent the price tag on those and im only 17 , target doesnt pay the best.
What about monos and scats?
Is it basically any fish that grows large and flat like silver dollars etc. can go with these fish?
but i dont want anything to pick on my clown.

How are they feeding so far?
Where are the pics?
Also insects are fine for you aro, they make up a good part of their natural diet (especially when young). You can even gut load them with fish flakes before you feed them off for added nurtients. It's pretty fun to watch as well.
