The reasons for Silver Dragon not eating are different and the solutions are also different. The specific solutions are as follows:
1. Water quality reasons
Solution: Change the water regularly and quantitatively every week , after the silver arowana stops eating due to excessive water quality, change the water by about 1/6 to 1/8 every day for 3-5 days to stimulate the appetite of the silver arowana.
2. Single feeding
Solution: Change the food and use other foods to lure the silver arowana. The diversification of feeding will play an important role in the growth of the silver arowana.
3. Overfeeding
Solution: Feed until 7 minutes full and the belly is slightly bulging. Stop feeding when the silver arowana stops eating and recover slowly.

Life habits of silver arowana
Silver arowana is a carnivorous fish, so it has a serious impact on water quality. Under this premise, fish tank filtration becomes particularly important. It is necessary to separate dry and wet parts and try to clean out the bait residue and fish feces as much as possible, thereby reducing the ammonia content in the water and maintaining water quality.
The white cotton used for dry and wet separation needs to be cleaned or replaced regularly. When replacing or cleaning the filter material, you need to pay attention to one thing, that is, clean it in small batches to avoid causing violent turbulence in the water quality and causing the arowana to stop trying.
In addition, silver arowana is a pelagic fish, so when breeding in polyculture, special attention needs to be paid to the selection of fish and avoid choosing the same type of pelagic fish. Arowanas are territorial, so fights are common in polyculture. Since you choose polyculture, you must be prepared for the worst, and polyculture has relatively high requirements for water quality.
Polycultured fish often fight, and if there are wounds, poor water quality will easily cause fish diseases. Therefore, mixed culture is not only a challenge to filtration but also a challenge to the heart of the owner.
