Hi Dixon81, Is this a South American or Asian Arrowana? How big is the Arrowana? Are the crickets the Grey crickets like purchased at the store or wild caught crickets? How long has this tank been set up? What are the actual numbers on ammonia, nitrIte and nitrAtes? How long have YOU had the Arrowana? How long has he been refusing food? These questions can help determine the probable reason he is not eating. Other foods that you can try are freeze-dried Plankton or frozen Brine Shrimp.
