Recently, I acquired a couple of Asian Gold Arowanas (Scleropages
Formosus) and a couple of South American Silver Arowanas (Osteoglossum
Bicirrhosum).  The Gold Arowanas are approximately four and one-half
inches in length, and the Silver Arowanas are approximately two
and one-half inches in length.

I have been feeding the Gold Arowanas with both freeze-dried krill
and small live feeder fish and the Silver Arowanas with freeze-dried
krill.  I have tried feeding them, with no success, TetraMin flake
food and frozen brine shrimp.

My question is: Are there any better or more suitable foods
to feed the Gold and Silver Arowanas (taking their size into
consideration)?
