I recently bought rtg arrowana but it isn't taking any food i tried dry shrimp but it didn't feed on them but it just feed on live fish..... What should I do so that it feeds on dry shrimp

Thanks for reaching out about Arrow. Dried shrimp is an inappropriate diet for fish as low in calcium (no bones), high in phosphorus. Being dried, many other nutrients (vitamins) are destroyed. A commercial pellet in addition to whole fish is recommended. Monitor water quality as healthy water is important for a healthy fish. Good luck.

I have a freshwater pufferfish and he isn’t eating the fish flakes like the other 6 fish in the tank (red tail shark, clown loach, and tetras). Do they need to be fed live or frozen food? He also butts into the aquarium walls here and there. Is this

Most puffers will not eat flakes or pellets. They need live or frozen foods. They also require hard foods to keep their teeth worn down. The local Petco will likely have these foods in stock. If the tank is overstocked, he may be stressed. He may also have an infection (bacterial, fungal or parasites) that are causing his symptoms. Ideally, a new fish should be quarantined for 2-4 weeks before being introduced to the main tank.

Please help I love my Fish more than anything and one of them is lying on the ground with white stuff peeling off It and One of them is swimming around and it has the same white stuff all over it and it’s fins are like pushed down and all of my 11 fi

Thanks for reaching out about Fish. Test and correct water quality for pH, ammonia, nitrites and nitrates. If all fish are affected, water quality problems the most likely. Alteration can lead to increased mucous production from the skin (white stuff), but fungal dermatitis or parasites are also possible. A veterinary visit is recommended if the water quality if appropriate, to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Good luck.

Hello. Can I feed a figure 8 pufferfish live or dead meal worms? Or frozen thawed tilapia? Live feeder fish? Ghost shrimp? Thanks!

Thanks for reaching out about your pufferfish. Meal worms are bags of fat and should be used as treats only. Frozen thawed tilapia is okay, but no bones thus a reverse calcium-phosphorus ratio. Ghost shrimp okay, live feeder fish okay but pufferfish not super fast. Small clams or snails are a good source as also require chewing to get into. Pufferfish have dentition that can overgrow is not chewing a lot. Good luck.
