Hexagonal arowana is not picky about food. When you are young, you can feed them with red worms and earthworms. When you are older, you can feed shrimp, granular food, or fish, fish intestines and fish liver. After growing into adult fish, you can feed goldfish, crucian carp, prawns or fish fillets. In order to facilitate feeding, in addition to feeding raw bait, it is best to feed some artificial feed.

Hexagonal dragon is a dinosaur fish, which eats a lot. Once the bait fed is not enough, it will cause harm to other fish, so it is best to use the method of decentralized feeding when mixed feeding. Large carp, cichlid, catfish and other fish can be mixed with dinosaur fish, but it should be noted that the "lung fish" in ancient fish can not be mixed with hexagonal arowana.

Extended information feeding environment of arowana hexagonus;

Each individual needs a space with a length of at least 45cm, a water depth of not less than 15cm and no water flow. The pH value (hardness) is between 6.5 and 8, and 7.4 to 7.6 is the best. Hexagonal dinosaurs liked hard water. If the water quality in the living area is soft, it can be adjusted by adding salt. The formula and dosage are shown below.

The bedding material is made of stone with a diameter of more than 2cm (to ensure that it will not be eaten by mistake) or fine sand. Stone is superior to sand, which enables hexagonal dinosaurs to grasp the bottom of the water. In addition to bottom sand, a large number of aquatic plants can be planted in the tank, because hexagonal dinosaurs were shy by nature and needed secret hiding places.

You can use natural light or add a lamp according to the layout of the aquarium. The temperature is between 14 ~ 20℃, so as to avoid drastic changes. The optimum temperature is 16 ~ 18℃. Please don't mix with other aquatic animals, and don't mix with hexagonal dinosaurs.
