How to Get a New Silver Arowana to Start Eating
The silver arowana is a premium tropical fish that needs patience; a new fish should rest and adjust before it feeds. Keep the water clean and stable, hold the temperature at 25 to 28 degrees Celsius with a heater, and offer high-protein food such as fresh fish or quality pellets while watching which it prefers. Give a quiet, calm environment with minimal disturbance, and if it refuses food for a long time, a little aquarium salt can curb bacteria and fungi and spark appetite.
4 Things You’re Missing If Your Dog Has Bad Breath
A dog's bad breath is not normal—it often means disease. Leftover food builds bacteria that cause tartar, periodontal disease, and can spread to the liver, heart, and kidneys. Keep the mouth healthy with four habits: brush one to two times a week using pet toothpaste (human toothpaste can poison if swallowed; water and a pet brush work too); check teeth regularly and see a vet for serious issues; give chew toys and dental treats to wear teeth; and feed a balanced, mostly dry diet with supplements for micronutrients (deficiency causes mouth ulcers). About 80% of dogs without dental care develop oral disease by age three—prevent early.
